[Completed] Provide access to clean water

Das gesetzte Ziel in diesem Projekt ist seit 05.09.2024 vollständig finanziert.
With you, we enable more than 2.4 million days of access to clean drinking water in Sierra Leone and Kenya.
This is how your help arrives:
  • Access and short distances to safe drinking water
  • Construction, monitoring and repair of local water infrastructure
Our Impact
  • Improved health & nutritional situation
  • Increased quality of life & time for other activities
Our partners

Our partners in the effort to supply clean drinking water:

  • Sierra Leone: Action against Hunger
  • Kenya: FundiFix
Did you know?

Clean drinking water often means that girls and women can go to school more often. This is because women and girls are traditionally responsible for fetching water and often have to travel long distances to do so. If these journeys are shortened, the time can be used to attend school.
And now?

Together with you, we want to do even more good.

Here you can find out what happens next with your funding project.

Where we help

Water is the basis of life and that is precisely why everyone needs and should have access to clean drinking water. To advance this, we have joined forces with our partners in Kenya and Sierra Leone.

Why Kenya

17 million Kenyans in rural areas do not have access to a basic water supply and about half of them (8 million) rely on surface water for their drinking water needs (source: FundiFix ). Unclean water can be particularly dangerous for children, as they are more susceptible to infectious diseases and diarrhea. A good and intact infrastructure is necessary for a comprehensive supply of clean drinking water. In Kenya, this infrastructure already exists, but is not intact everywhere and therefore needs to be repaired.

Why Sierra Leone

The country, weakened by civil war and Ebola, suffers from destroyed or missing infrastructure. In addition to economic and structural difficulties, the population in Sierra Leone also struggles with the insecure food situation. This is the main reason for chronic malnutrition in the population. In addition, the country struggles with one of the highest child and maternal mortality rates in the world. Reasons for these high rates include diarrheal diseases, which are due to the lack of access to clean drinking water and sanitation facilities.

2,460,000Days access to clean drinking water

What we have achieved

Together with our partner organizations in Kenya and Sierra Leone, we have set ourselves clear goals to give as many local people as possible access to clean drinking water. With your support, we have come a long way towards achieving this goal.

Phase 3

This is how it continues

After successful funding in Kenya and Sierra Leone, we are continuing the project in Kenya and providing support in Madagascar. Click here to read about the current campaign for clean drinking water with Action Against Hunger and FundiFix .
