Where we help
Water is not only a human right, but also the basis for a healthy life. This is precisely why everyone needs and should have access to clean drinking water. To advance this, we have joined forces with our partners in Madagascar and Kenya.
Why Madagascar
The tropical island nation of Madagascar is located southeast of Africa. Although the country's economy benefits from tourism, more than 95 percent of the population currently lives below the poverty line - a shocking record that is the result of several humanitarian crises. In recent years, a severe drought has hit the south of the country, bringing people there to the brink of famine. Around 1.5 million people do not know how to secure their food supply and only 30 percent of the population in this region has access to clean drinking water. ACF ( Action Against Hunger ) has set up emergency programs in this area that, among other things, ensure access to drinking water.
Why Kenya
17 million Kenyans in rural areas lack access to basic water supplies and approximately half of them (8 million) rely on surface water for their drinking water needs. Unsafe water can be particularly dangerous for children, as they are more susceptible to infectious diseases and diarrheal illnesses.
A good and intact infrastructure is necessary for a comprehensive supply of clean drinking water. In Kenya, this infrastructure is often already in place, but is not intact and therefore needs to be repaired.
2,842,500Days access to clean drinking water
What we want to achieve in Madagascar and Kenya:
Together with our partner organizations in Madagascar and Kenya, we have set clear goals that need to be achieved in order to give as many local people access to clean drinking water.
This is how it continues
After successful funding in Kenya and Madagascar, we continue to provide local support. Click here to see our current efforts for access to clean drinking water with Fundifix and Action Against Hunger .
