We Are Transparent
We take our role as resource managers very seriously. We keep our costs as low as possible. This ensures that the donations are mainly used for our projects. We are audited annually by an independent tax consultant.
We have signed a declaration of voluntary commitment to the Initiative Transparente Zivilgesellschaft, which was launched by Transparency International Germany e.V. In this declaration we commit ourselves to transparency. You can find our details here:

Our Vision
Our vision is for Africa's arid regions to become green and fertile again. A key goal in the fight against poverty is the sustainable management of water resources, including access to safe drinking water and sanitary facilities.
Our mission
Clean water is the basis for good health and a better life. Through the dissemination of simple methods and the use of adapted technologies in water supply, water treatment and sanitation, the population should be empowered to ensure sufficient clean water and good hygiene themselves.
We are exempt from corporation tax in accordance with Section 5 (1) No. 9 KStG and from trade tax in accordance with Section 3 No. 6 GewStG due to the promotion of development cooperation according to the last notice of exemption we received from the Waiblingen tax office, tax number 90080/21151 dated 27 March 2024.
