?? “One of the most affirming moments in my work was when a woman in the community shared how life had changed since the installation of a new water point. She recalled a time when having a jerrycan of water at home was considered a luxury, and they had to reuse every drop — washing utensils, then using the same water to rinse food, and finally for personal hygiene. Seeing the relief and joy on her face as she spoke about the ease of accessing clean water today reassured me that I am in the right field.” — Sarah Katusiime, Uganda #InternationalWomensDay #IWD #WaSH https://lnkd.in/eca_ErrT

Empowering Communities, One Drop at a Time: Pioneering Sustainable Water Solutions
关于我们
The Water Project, Inc., a dedicated 501(c)(3) non-profit, strives to alleviate the water crisis in sub-Saharan Africa, where water stress is notably higher than in many other regions. Approximately 1 in 3 Africans face water scarcity, and nearly 400 million people in sub-Saharan Africa lack access to basic drinking water. This reflects a profound challenge, as the region grapples with overburdened water systems, rapid urbanization, and the impacts of climate change. Since our inception in 2007, The Water Project has been committed to building safe and reliable water sources, backed by our Water Promise initiative. This involves consistent monitoring and maintenance, ensuring the sustainability of each project. Our aim is to forge a deep connection between donors and the communities they support, providing detailed insights through stories, maps, and photos, thus making each donation a life-changing act for both parties. We invite you to learn more about our methods, results, and future vision at TheWaterProject.org, where we continue to address these critical challenges and work towards a future where everyone can access safe and clean water.

?”I was working on protecting an unprotected spring in a remote community. There was this old lady who had not been down to the spring for almost fifteen years due to her age. When the works were pronounced complete, for the first time in fifteen years, the old lady picked [up] her walking stick and slowly walked down just to see for herself the ‘miracle of safe water’ that had just happened. Her smile on seeing the protected spring made my eyes teary. I was sure that I was in the right sector doing the right thing.” — Lilian Achieng', Western Kenya #InternationalWomensDay #IWD #WaSH https://lnkd.in/eDTRca54

?? “Water is not just a basic need — it is a foundation for health, empowerment, and development. When a community gains access to safe water, everything changes: children stay in school, women have time for meaningful work, and families thrive. This is why I am passionate about my work in the water sector — because water has the power to transform lives and it unlocks potential!” — Janet Kayi, Western Kenya #InternationalWomensDay #IWD #WaSH https://lnkd.in/enapnFKb

Your support will allow us to build reliable water projects, ensuring people have access to clean and safe water every day. #WaterisLife #Drought #WaterScarcity

Taking water for granted is easy when it seems abundant. If you’re not hearing about?water shortages?in the news, and your tap still runs like normal, you might assume there’s nothing to worry about. But that assumption is often misguided. As Jamie Heminway explains, water is more precious than you think. #waterconservation #drought #waterscarcity
