Water is life. Everyone should have the right to it.
Rainwater collection is the simplest way to make that happen.
We are a clean water charity. We believe the solution to the Water Crisis is falling from the sky. All we need to do is help people catch it. By constructing rainwater collection systems, African communities gain access to clean and safe drinking water. We teach villages about water conservation, reforestation, sanitation and sustainable agriculture. Our water projects bring about gender equity, alleviate poverty and increase the overall health of communities.
Saving rain saves lives.
OUR IMPACT ON EDUCATION
BEFORE: 80% of school-aged children sacrificed their education because water was not readily available.
AFTER: Now that there is a constant clean water supply available, 95% of their children have a perfect attendance at school.
OUR IMPACT ON HEALTH
Before: 74% of families were sick from water related illnesses, more than 1 week per month.
After: 96.5% of families report that they are healthy and that there hasn’t been any concerning illness that lasted for more than a day.
GET INVOLVED
Because water touches everything, water changes everything – especially for children. By supporting our clean water campaign, children are freed from searching for water and are therefore able to pursue their dreams and reach for their potential. More rain means more water for everyone and everything.
