THE OPPORTUNITY

Transforming Water Scarcity Into
Sustainable Solutions

Our project focuses solely on rehabilitating and upgrading borehole technologies to ensure reliable water extraction for underserved communities. By restoring and optimizing existing boreholes, we enhance water availability without the need for new infrastructure. This approach provides sustainable, clean water access while reducing environmental impact.

Our Approach to Impact

01
Assess & Restore Infrastructure

We restore non-functional boreholes instead of building new assets, reducing costs, environmental impact, and time to delivery.

02
Install Local, Proven Technologies

Interventions use proven, locally suitable materials and designs, ensuring reliability, ease of maintenance, and long-term use.

03
Build Community Capacity & Support

The solution delivers safe, reliable drinking water while lowering firewood use, improving health outcomes, and strengthening climate resilience.

Impact in Action

Real progress across South Africa

Every restored borehole represents renewed hope for communities facing water scarcity, bringing safe drinking water and lasting resilience.
