Lack of clean water is at the root of many of these problems. Imagine that every glass of water you drink is a cup of sickness and disease. Diarrhea, headaches and dehydration are a common part of every day life. Cholera, typhoid and bilharzias outbreaks are commonplace.

People are in desperate need of:

  • Clean drinking water
  • More efficient food production
  • Basic hygiene training
  • Education, which promotes hope for the future

projects (drilling boreholes, hand pump repair, BioSand filters for point-of-use treatment, participatory community hygiene trainings), our approach is holistic, taking into consideration all of the needs and strengths of the people we serve.
