About Our Mission

Water Is Energy

Our flagship programme transforming lives through clean water, hygiene education, and sustainable infrastructure

The Challenge

In Cameroon, more than 50% of the population lacks reliable access to clean drinking water. Women and girls often walk kilometres daily to fetch water from contaminated sources, contributing to waterborne diseases, school absenteeism, and perpetuating gender inequality.

Our Solution

Through partnership with ASEBE and local organisations, we combine infrastructure development, capacity building, and community awareness to create lasting, sustainable change.

Programme Highlights

Clean Water Access

Solar-powered boreholes for sustainable supply

Hygiene Education

Comprehensive training on health and sanitation

Community Leadership

Local management committees for sustainability

SDG Alignment

Contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals
