Clean & Safe Water

Easy access to clean and safe water is a key factor for communities to thrive. 

This is because it enhances health, education, economic growth, and overall quality of life. Read how here.

What We Do

  • Engage communities in interventions from initial to final processes

  • Develop and improve water infrastructures according to need:

    • identify water source;

    • drill boreholes;

    • build water access infrastructure;

    • build water storage infrastructure;

    • distribute water (through pump houses, pipelines, distribution points and household connections) 

  • Strengthen Community Based Water Supply Organisations (CBWSOs)

  • Set up systems for transparency in water demand and revenue collections.

How it Helps

  • Helps children, especially girls:

  • time freed from collecting water from long distances reduces risk of harassment and enables school attendance and improved learning outcomes.

  • Reduces the cost of living:

    • lower cost of water compared to alternatives;

    • avoids health costs related to water-borne diseases.

  • Increases Productivity:

    • time freed from water-borne sickness and pre-occupation with water scarcity allows for farming and other productive pursuits to generate surplus income for investment.
