Clean water programs can help provide access to clean water, which is crucial for promoting better health, reducing poverty, and ensuring sustainable development in communities.
Need:
Unclean water is the greatest common threat to life, health, education, and economic advancement among people in extreme poverty. ​
International health organizations report that 115 people die in Africa every hour due to water-borne diseases from unclean water. ​
Some children, as young as 6, walk three or more miles each day to get water, often unclean water, for their families.
Solution:
Microfinancing Partners in Africa’s Water Program funds bore holes and easy-to-maintain water filters to support groups to manage clean water as group income projects, help families in poverty afford clean water via small loans or pay-it-forward plans, and empowers members to train others.
