There are 780 million people living without clean drinking water. In parts of Africa and Asia, people have to walk up to five miles to get clean water for their village. Women in Africa and Asia walk 4 miles to get the same amount of water that Americans use in two minutes on average in a shower. The clean water crisis is one of the most pressing issues of our lifetime. Through this campaign, we hope to help tackle the crisis directly.

Water is one of the basic necessities of life. Helping people get easy access to clean water means one less thing they have to worry about. 

More than 4,000 villagers have benefitted from the current Solar-Powered Centers! These incredible feats of engineering not only provide running water to the homes of up to 1,500 people and 1,000 livestock, but also supply electricity and power to schools and places of worship as well! Placed in desert areas, the Solar Water Panel & Power Centre can fill a reservoir that holds enough to hold 3 days’ worth of water to ensure they don’t go without on those cloud-covered days.

This campaign will bring clean water to Somalia.
