A Little About Us

We work with remote communities in West Africa to improve access to clean drinking water, increase awareness of waterborne diseases and build long-term civic infrastructure.

Since forming in 2007, our US-based fundraising staff and our African action team have worked together to improve thousands of lives – and we’re just getting started.

Our Values

We believe that:

Access to clean drinking water and safe sanitation facilities are basic human rights

Education has the power to transform communities right around the globe

People in the developing world know best how to improve their lives

What We Do

Our teams on the ground in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger work directly with communities to provide immediate access to safe drinking water while also laying the groundwork for long-term change. Our approach is three-pronged:

The Impact So Far

Since launching, we’ve:

  • Provided [X meals / scholarships / clean water access points]
  • Partnered with [X local communities or orgs]
  • Trained [X people] in [relevant area]
  • Raised R[X] in community funding

Your support has already made a difference — and we’re just getting started.

  • $10 Pays for a family water-filtration device
  • $100 Pays for water purification tablets for a community of 500 people for a month
