We Speak the Language of Water
Aid Projects in the Field of Water
We carry out aid projects in Africa with a focus on water and ensure that people have access to clean water – water is a human right.
As a well water charity, development aid is close to our hearts because poverty is unacceptable. People are not to blame for their poverty, which is being exacerbated by climate change in many regions of Africa – even though the people there contribute least to the causes. Every human being has dignity and the right to live in safety and health.
Through our commitment to water wells for Africa, we build sustainable water sources, treat contaminated water to make it drinkable, and restore dry land to fertility through irrigation. We personally oversee the projects from start to finish.
Water is a human right
More than 2.2 billion people worldwide still have no access to clean water, and around 3.5 billion people do not have adequate sanitation facilities.
While we get our water from the tap, many people in Africa have to fetch it from far away. Every day, women and children spend several hours doing this. After this strenuous work, the children are often tired and find it difficult to concentrate at school, if they are able to attend at all.
With your donation, you are helping to make clean water available directly in the village. Clean water prevents disease and enables children to attend school regularly. Your donation thus contributes to a more dignified life.
