Safe Water Supply & Agroforestry
Water plays an instrumental role in the economy, education, and health of rural agricultural communities in East Africa, which is why our projects are centered on bringing safe water to these communities.
The Current State
Rural communities are dependent on hand-dug wells and ponds for their daily water supply.
Since both of these water sources are stagnant they pose a high risk of microbial contamination; requiring boiling in order to mitigate this risk of waterborne diseases.
Due to the scarcity of water, all family members including children, have to spend their day fetching water.
The Future State
Each project includes 2 primary activities
Provision of safe drinking water through the installation of a solar powered water well
Distributed reforestation through an agroforestry approach in collaboration with local small-holder farmers.
Climate Impact
Unlimited clean water enabling community to avoid boiling water for purification, resulting in avoidance of CO2
6000 trees planted per well, resulting in CO2 sequestered
Solar powered pump resulting in avoidance of CO2
Social Impact
Our projects target 7 of the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs)
School children don't have to spend their day searching for water, increasing attendance rates
Freely accessible water and additional carbon income enables small-scale farmers to boost yields and achieve financial security
