Charity overview

Activities - how the charity spends its money

Local entrepreneurs trained and supported by us to provide safe reliable water in rural Africa. We use our own drilling rig and local staff to install reliable hand-pumps, or multi-taps schemes. We train local people to run the water supply for the village, charging affordable, pre-agreed amounts and banking the surplus to cover all repairs and running costs. Its practical not idealistic.
