Pictured: a completed SDQA water bore in rural Uganda.
Water is the first prayer a village ever makes.
Water that lasts. From a well that runs through a village to a pipeline that reaches a thousand.

Open for Funding
Water projects open for funding
Each project is a fixed cost. We hold the share open until it reaches 100%, then we break ground.
Water Bore Pump in Pakistan
Families in rural Sindh and southern Punjab walk up to three hours a day for water that makes their children sick. A bore pump changes that - clean water on their doorstep, for the next ten years.
Number of Shares
Total: £5.00
Water Bore Pump in Uganda
In rural Uganda, families still collect water from open wells and rivers that make their children sick. A bore pump changes that - clean water on their doorstep for 80 to 150 people, every day, for the next ten years.
Number of Shares
Total: £18.00
Solar Water Tower in Sub-Saharan Africa
Across parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, entire communities have no reliable water source. A solar-powered tower changes that - 40,000 litres a day piped to homes for more than 5,000 people, for the next 25 years, with zero fuel cost.
Number of Shares
Total: £340.00
Community Water Pipeline in Pakistan
In the mountains of northern Pakistan, villages depend on glacier melt and contaminated streams. A gravity-fed pipeline changes that - clean water piped from a protected highland source to 200 to 500 people, year-round, for the next 15 years.
Number of Shares
Total: £16.00

Before You Give
Questions, answered
Everything we get asked, before the donate button.
Clean water is the answer to almost every other problem a village has.
Health. Education. Income. The walk that takes hours, the bucket that runs dry. You are not funding water · you are funding everything water makes possible.
