    Water, toilets and hygiene that lasts.

    Safe water, toilets and good hygiene saves lives. We work with communities to build lasting WASH systems that keep people healthy, children in school, and families moving forward, for good.

    What We Do

    Where health begins.

    We support rural clinics, schools and communities with safe water, toilets and hygiene education. The foundations of good health. From childbirth to classrooms, clean, reliable WASH keeps patients safe, students learning and families thriving.

    Every day in school counts.

    Without toilets and safe water, children (especially girls) miss school during key years. Our work ensures schools have the facilities they need to keep children safe, present and focused. When education outcomes rise, so do opportunities.

    Adapting today for tomorrow.

    Farming feeds families, but climate change threatens harvests and livelihoods. We support rural communities with sustainable water solutions to help farmers adapt and thrive.

    Working with local partners in Zambia and Mozambique, we strengthen climate resilience where it’s needed most.

    Economic Growth Village Water

    Unlocking potential.

    We support rural livelihoods with training, tools and opportunities. From farmers growing new businesses to masons building safe toilets, and pump minders keeping water flowing. We invest in people, so communities can thrive long after the work begins.
