Why Water?

Every day in rural communities throughout sub-Saharan Africa, millions of people suffer from a lack of access to clean, safe water. For school-aged children it’s a burden that traps them in poverty.

Globally, 1 in 9 people still have no access to clean water. But in the communities we serve, it’s 9 out of 9. Water is a daily and crippling challenge. Without water you can’t grow food, you can’t build housing, you can’t stay healthy, you can’t stay in school and you can’t keep working.

Today, hope is on hold in over half of the developing world’s primary schools without access to water and sanitation.

But the water crisis can be solved.
