Every 15 seconds a child dies from lack of access to clean water. Save the Rain teaches water-starved communities in East Africa to use rain as a sustainable water supply, stopping the needless deaths caused by the Global Water Crisis. To achieve our mission, we educate communities to harvest the rain through roof water collection, surface water collection, and groundwater recharge. We educate recipients on the importance of reforestation, sanitation, hygiene, and sustainable agriculture through permaculture design. Our systems are built from local materials by a community elected local workforce. They require no electricity, pumping or filtration, thus assuring sustainability.
We are Save the Rain because saving rain saves lives.
A random act of kindness can show someone what they deserve, that the bounty of life is theirs to embrace and that they have the strength to say yes to life’s abundant goodness.
No woman or girl deserves to forfeit their life to the search for water. Your kindness can change that.
Please join our campaign and help women and children get consistent access to clean water.
