Founder Gaël Fangfo grew up in the small city of Kumba, Cameroon, and at a young age, started selling drinking water at the local market. This water, commonly called pure water, provided a valuable source of income for his family, but it was not always a reliable one. When Gaël was a teenager, Kumba suffered a long stretch without safe drinking water, and that led to his dream of one day starting his own water company and supporting those in need. Gaël’s American dream came through after he won the visa lottery and migrated to the United States. He enlisted in the U.S. Armed Forces, where he quickly realized consuming healthier food and water was crucial to maintaining fitness. With the primary objective of creating his own water brand after serving, Gaël started a semi-trucking company driving and transporting freights around the country. He also passively invested in oil wells and did some trading in the foreign exchange market on the side to help raise money for the project. When the right opportunity came along, he turned his dream into reality and created GAEL WATER, offering consumers a healthier alkaline drinking water. In keeping true to his original vision, GAEL WATER will donate a certain portion of its proceeds to organizations providing clean water to cities, fighting cancer, and supporting wounded warriors.
