Water & Sanitation
For many families here in the Tansa Valley, safe water is out of reach – putting their health and wellbeing at risk.
That’s where we come in. By building rain-fed wells, providing water filters, and improving sanitation with toilets and other essentials, we’re helping to reduce illness and save time previously spent collecting water.

Work with local people
We work hand in hand with local people, so every project lasts and every benefit stays close to home.
What progress looks like
Short walks for water – longer days for school, farming, and family.
Children are healthy because the water they drink is clean.
Fields that stay green, even when skies stay dry.
And villages that rise, because their most fundamental need is no longer a question.
We envision a fertile Tansa Valley with year-round access to adequate water to support regenerative, multi-seasonal farming.
Our change-making programs
-
Clean Drinking Water
We bring safe water within reach. With thousands of low-cost candle filters, families turn contaminated sources into clean, drinkable water – protecting health and bringing peace of mind, one sip at a time.
-
Wastewater Management
Open drains once spread disease across the valley. Now, village-built soakpits quietly filter household wastewater – making streets cleaner, groundwater healthier, and homes safer.
-
Community Wells
Rain-fed community wells have shortened daily journeys. Women no longer walk kilometres for water. They cook, wash, and care with ease, thanks to shared wells that store every drop of the monsoon.
-
Farm Wells
Built to catch the rain, our concrete farm wells keep fields green and crops growing – helping farming families hold onto the harvest, even through the dry spells.
-
Family Toilets
Every family deserves the dignity of a safe, private toilet. By building household sanitation facilities, we’re improving health, enhancing safety, and helping families live with greater comfort and confidence.
-
School Toilets Blocks
Every child deserves dignity at school. With new toilet blocks in rural classrooms, we’re protecting health, supporting education, and making learning safer for all.
