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 on homes and primary schools, generations of 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 HEALTH

HELP FEED 30,000 TANZANIAN STUDENTS TODAY
Due to drought, inflation, and the pandemic, food scarcity has ramped up worldwide. We need your help. 30,000 students in 49 primary schools in Northern Tanzania have stopped their food programs. In an emergency effort, we started a food distribution to band-aid this current crisis.
In addition to the food distribution, we continue investing in community and residential greenhouses. We have seen their impact, especially in these critical moments. Of the 149 schools we support, 49 require immediate food distribution. Before the greenhouses, all the schools needed food when the rains became irregular.
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE TODAY
$5 feeds a CHILD for 6 weeks.
$150 continuously feeds a FAMILY with a residential greenhouse.
$6,000 provides food consistently for a COMMUNITY with a large-scale greenhouse.
CHANGE RIPPLES FROM SCHOOLS
