Water: It's Basic.

Water, a basic necessity, is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it's sanitizing hands before surgery, mixing the perfect mandazi batter, staying hydrated while toiling in the fields, or simply doing laundry, water is an indispensable component of life.

The responsibility of collecting water predominantly falls on the shoulders of women, and the burden they bear is staggering. In Sub-Saharan Africa alone, a mind-boggling 200 million hours are spent each day collecting water – that's a staggering 40 billion hours annually!

In a region where women contribute to 75% of crop cultivation and 50% of livestock care yet receive only 10% of the income and possess a mere 1% of the assets, our mission is clear: We aim to liberate women from the burden of water collection.

Every day, we are quite literally saving lives. Imagine being entirely dependent on finding water, any water, day after day, without respite. The challenge is real, but the potential impact on lives is immeasurable.

We act as catalysts for local, sustainable solutions to address the pressing water crisis, providing clean, safe water directly in the villages where people reside. It truly is that straightforward.

It's basic.
