Clean Water Initiative

Today, one broken tap is leaving 1,000 students without safe water.

In Africa's growing urban schools, 1,000+ students rely on just a few taps every day. When one breaks, access to safe water can suddenly stop.

A $35 repair can restore water to an entire school.

Clean Water Students Can Rely On

High-efficiency filtration systems provide safe, clean water for schools of 1,000+ students—consistently, not occasionally.

Facilities That Actually Work

From taps to toilets, systems are designed for daily use—so students aren't relying on facilities that are broken, unsafe, or unusable.

Progress at risk

Half the job is keeping it working.

Across urban schools, more students now have access to safe water than ever before.

But progress like this doesn't sustain itself.

Without ongoing maintenance, even well-built systems can fail—turning something reliable into something uncertain.
