Typical Water Project Goals:

  • Access to Water within 1 km (half-mile)
  • 50 litres per person/day
  • Clean, Filtered & Disinfected Water
  • Sustainability
  • Community Ownership and Management

You can help, donate clean water.The water comes from rainwater harvesting techniques and/or water wells. Where water is available, but diseased and dirty, we're also using Biosand water filtration. These systems include the construction of weirs (small sand dams that capture water during the seasonal periods of rain) and roof-top rainwater catchment systems using gutters and pipes on large buildings like schools and churches. Once collected in tanks, the water can be filtered, disinfected and distributed to communities and schools.

These water projects are designed to help people who currently walk several kilometres a day to collect often dirty, diseased water. In Cameroon, water can now be cleaned right in the home!

By joining us and donating what you can, you will help eliminate water scarcity in these communities.
