Program — Clean Water
Clean Water
Nothing else is possible until water is. We fund wells, filtration, and watershed stewardship — and, just as critically, the local technicians and spare-parts supply chains that keep them running long after the ribbon is cut. Access is the headline; maintenance is the work.
Approach
Infrastructure that lasts
Boreholes, gravity-fed systems, and household filtration sized to the community rather than the grant cycle — designed for the water table and the climate they will actually face.
The maintenance chain
We train local technicians and seed the spare-parts supply chains that keep systems running. A well is only as good as the hands that can repair it.
Watershed stewardship
Source protection, recharge, and sanitation planned together, so that clean water remains clean and the watershed sustains the next generation.
In the field
Sustained, not installed
In the Rift Valley, a network of forty water points is kept running by technicians the program trained and a parts depot it helped capitalize. Three years on, the systems are still flowing — the metric we care about most.
Hours returned to a day
Where a tap stand replaces a four-hour walk, the hours return to school, to work, to rest. The intervention is water; the dividend is time.
