100% of your donation will go to a project, as thanks to a generous group of donors, our overhead expenses, including salaries and travel costs are covered. 

Following each successful drilling, a water sample is collected and sent to a laboratory for a thorough analysis to ensure the water is safe and fit for human consumption.  

Providing water to an entire village is a gift that will immeasurably change the lives of thousands of community members. At the highest level, water will improve the health of the villagers, eradicate waterborne diseases, enable more students to attend school and alleviate pressure on the women who are no longer required to travel significant distances to collect water from contaminated sources and can now use their time more effectively. In turn, economic stability begins to take place, as businesses are established, including brick-making and agricultural programs as they are able to grow vegetables and sell the surplus in local markets.  

Providing solar energy to a school or medical centre truly transforms the well-being of the students/patients. With solar energy, electricity for lights is installed throughout the school or medical centre providing guiding light for studying, medical procedures and deliveries. With electricity, the facilities will be able to utilise laptops, essential medical equipment and most centrally, power a vaccine refrigerator, which given the pandemic has been more critical than ever.

Sustainability is at the core of our mission as we want to ensure that our solutions will provide light and/or clean water to communities for decades to come. 

We are proud to have received the United Nations Innovation Award for our Remote Monitoring system which provides our teams and our donors with the ability to track live, the amount of energy and water consumed at any of our projects, at any given time, from anywhere in the world. Crucially, should a technical malfunction occur, an alert will be issued and our local team of engineers will be able to address the issue right away, thereby ensuring the long-term success and sustainability of the project. 

We are delighted to be working together with the local communities we serve and conduct regular community meetings to ensure they are fully informed and engaged throughout the project. Our gifted Field Officers work with the communities to select a solar/water committee who will help oversee the projects and ensure its successful implementation. 

Moreover, in all of our water projects, we implement a training program whereby 10 selected community members are hired, paid and trained by our contractors in various aspects of the construction process, including the water network design, plumbing, cement mixing, brick making and so on. This training program helps ensure the long-term sustainability and success of the water projects as these community members now have the skills required to maintain their own water systems and address to any small malfunctions, including tap replacements, should they occur. Moreover, the trainees receive a certificate of completion which helps with future employment opportunities. 

Absolutely! Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated and will go toward providing rural African communities with light and clean water.
