How Lita Started

Built for the People, by the People

Lita didn’t start in a boardroom or from a big idea backed by investors. It began with a simple truth: not everyone has sustainable access to clean drinking water, which didn’t sit right with us. Founders Saul Hatchuel and Tristan Topika were working regular 9-to-5 jobs when they realised they wanted to do something that made a difference. Something real. So they took the risk, left their comfort zones, and started building Lita - step by step, brick by brick. From day one, the mission was clear: create a water brand that puts people first. Not just in how we bottle and deliver water, but in how we connect with the communities around us. Lita is about access, honesty, and building something that feels familiar and fresh at the same time.

It’s a brand built on passion - no shortcuts, no overnight success. Just two people who cared enough to do something different, and a growing community that’s backed them ever since. This is just the beginning, and we’re so grateful to have you on the journey with us.

Lita is for the people - always has been.
