COVID-19 UPDATE: We are in urgent need of your support.

Hand washing requires soap AND clean water! We provide both. Your gift of Cryptocurrency is needed to keep our critical care teams working and maintaining water points during this crisis as they train communities on disease prevention.

Regular sources of donations are slowing even as the need is growing. We need the Cryptocurrency community more than ever!

This week's latest news from the front-lines

• Last week, our teams continued training communities on COVID-19, ways to prevent its spread, and how to ensure that they stay safe while fetching water. In total, our teams led 853 trainings since the start of April. We are continuing to train communities and support water points in Kenya, Sierra Leone, and Uganda.
• Our teams also completed 218 repairs on water points in need of attention in that time.
• The outbound phone-based monitoring system initially tested in Sierra Leone is now in the operational phase in Kenya and Uganda. More than 4 dozen calls were made last week in the two countries to check in on the status of water points. The calls will continue in the coming weeks.
• In Sierra Leone, our teams are holding COVID-19 trainings in significant markets. They visited Rotifunk market recently, as one example, to meet with more than 600 market sellers to train them on ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the market. They also installed 20 handwashing stations and distributed 670 face masks at the market. The teams will follow up on the training and hold similar events in 7 other markets - reaching more than 3,500 vendors.
• The team in Uganda travels with loudspeakers around markets and trading posts. They broadcast messages discussing ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the market. This supplements the messaging they are promoting on the two leading radio stations in the areas where they work that encourage healthy behaviors to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
