Finally, we broke new ground in Kibera, outside Nairobi. This informal community is home to nearly two million people, many of whom live in poverty. Since Kibera isn’t linked to any local water systems, most people rely on the extremely polluted Nairobi River.

For teachers and students, staying safe during the pandemic was difficult enough without water stress – but in communities where safe water access was scarce, protective hygiene was exponentially more difficult. For our partner communities in the Dominican Republic, H2O4ALL’s Clean Hands Initiative made a world of difference when it came to keeping kids and teachers safe at school.

In 2015, we partnered with Assemblies of God Cuba to serve water-stressed communities in Cuba’s Cienfuegos District. Since then, fourteen churches in the Cienfuegos District have received safe water systems, providing thousands of community members with a much-needed alternative to local water sources.

Four churches in the district received safe water systems, empowering community faith leaders to serve their communities with safe water and giving thousands of people a much-needed alternative to contaminated local water sources.

In 2012, H2O4ALL partnered with Wine to Water to bring safe water to water-stressed areas of the Dominican Republic. With simple point-of-use water filters, we’ve brought safe water to tens of thousands of people in struggling communities – one family at a time.

As we continue to seek effective ways to make positive change in our communities, we’ve begun pairing water projects at schools with food sustainability projects to improve children’s nutrition.

Our first project at Tom and Margaret Education Centre in Mawotto Village, Uganda now has a farm that includes bananas, cassava, corn, beans, groundnuts, and fruit trees, providing abundant and healthy food to Mawotto’s children.
