We fund and implement lasting clean water systems to drive development and empower communities in East Africa. To date, we continue to maintain a 100% success rate across all 120+ water projects, compared with the industry average of 40%.
Over the last fifteen years, we’ve transformed the lives of more than 525,000 people in East Africa, all while maintaining a 100% project success rate. With your support, we will reach 20,000 more people with lasting clean water during this year’s Gift of Water Gala.
Together, we have the power to create a world where every human has access to the basic right of clean water.
“We are incredibly honored to have been named an Anthem Award winner in the Responsible Technology category. We created the Well Beyond app to better serve the communities that we provide clean water for in East Africa and it is humbling to see our work recognized. The power of technology is immense, and we are fortunate to be able to use it as a tool to keep water systems up and running for years to come.”
After installing a rainwater collection and purification system in 2023, we are excited to report the student population has grown to 881 children, demonstrating the positive impact of access to clean water.Read More

Trivia Tuesday! 📝
What percentage does the disease rate drop when a community has access to clean, reliable water?
Find the answer on our website, link in bio.
Contaminated water transmits diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and polio. Lasting access to clean water, along with better sanitation and hygiene practices, causes the transmission of those diseases to drop immensely and improves overall health in a community! 🩺

It`s #DAFDay!
In recent years, Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) have become a popular vehicle for charitable giving. While the intention behind DAFs is noble, they have also quietly become a controversial issue in the nonprofit world. With over $230 billion sitting in these funds, a significant amount of charitable dollars are locked up, not reaching the nonprofits that need them to effect change. Unfortunately, many DAF holders are unaware of this problem, and their donations remain unused, creating an unintended bottleneck in philanthropy.

Have you told someone you love them today?
Next week is World Mental Health Day and our Community Associate, Yvonne, tells a story of how "I love you" changed her life in our newest blog.
With a population of 54 million, Kenya only has 120 registered psychiatrists, resulting in a staggering ratio of 450,000:1. "Let’s normalize speaking out, asking for help, and saying I LOVE YOU. Tell someone you’re thankful for them today. In fact, spread it to everyone you know. The world so desperately needs to heal."
“Health is wealth and there is no health without mental health”. - Dr. Rashid Aman, And there is no health without clean water. 💧

#DYK Each additional year a girl is in school, her future income goes up by 12%! 🎓
Collecting water is a responsibility taken on by women and girls in our partner communities. When access to clean water is centralized and reliable, gender equality becomes possible. Clean water enables girls to focus on their education and education opens the door for so many future opportunities! 💧
