Helping our Farmers – Our pledge!

We started our journey with Farm Angels back in 2019, when when they were known as “Drought Angels”, and we pledged to donate 40L of freshwater for every Oasis Solar Cover we sold.

Over the years the needs of Australian Farmers evolved, as did Drought Angels – pivoting from their primary focus of drought relief to include other disaster relief, such as bushfires, plagues and flood.

In July 2024 Drought Angels rebranded as Farm Angels, and while our pledge of 40L for every Oasis Solar cover remains the same, it no longer ends up with the farmer as 40L of water. Sometimes its stock feed or petrol – sometimes its a pre-paid visa card so they can pay a bill. We donate the financial equivalent, and Drought Angels passes that onto an Aussie farmer in need, in whatever format they need.

Drought Angels are here to provide support for our Aussie Farmers, and we in turn, continue to support them with our pledge of the cash equivalent of 40L, for every Oasis Pool Cover sold.

Based on the front line in Chinchilla, in Queensland’s Western Downs, Farm Angels are in direct contact with those who are most in need and are able to distribute whatever aid is needed to those who need it most.

As of August, 2024, thanks to people like you, we have been able to donate the financial equivalent of more than 1000,000 litres to Farm Angels, in support of Aussie Farmers. If you would like to make your own donation to Farm Angels, you can get in touch with them via their website https://farmangels.org.au/
