How Are We Doing?

  • People Served with Clean & Safe Water

  • Health Facilities Gained Access to Clean Water

  • Schools Provided with Drinking Water

  • Children Drinking Clean Water at School

  • Litres / Hour of Clean Water Made Available

We have spent recent years combining data and human experience to develop an innovative, holistic approach to poverty alleviation to provide a uniquely compelling opportunity to philanthropists focussed on impact value.

We know that individuals and institutions have many options for their generosity and this can be overwhelming. We try to simplify things:

“Relieving poverty through intermediaries is inefficient and wasteful.”

“Supporting a local African NGO is Risky.”

“What happens on the ground is Remote and Hard to Understand.”
