My Heart Will Not Sit Down
What are you reading this summer? A great spy novel perhaps? A mystery that has you on the edge of your seat, reading long into the night when you should be sleeping? Here at The Water Project we have a reading list. We challenge each other with concepts from the books we read. Books on […]
Amanzi Awethu!
An amazing bike journey across Africa
In February of this year, Alex Antrobus and Murray Beaumont, two young South Africans, began cycling 10,000km through sub-Saharan Africa to experience what life in rural Africa – and the struggle for fresh water – are really like.

TWP catch up with Kakiring Community in Northern Kenya

Check them out here:http://flourpowertreats.weebly.com/index.html But what makes Libby so cool is that she […]
Smiles are only the beginning
The most amazing this about this photograph is that it doesn’t even begin to tell the story of what will happen in this place. Yet, so often, we get caught up in images like these. Don’t get me wrong, there is every reason to. The first drops of clean, safe water for a school bring […]
