Clean and safe water is one of the most basic human needs, yet millions of people across Africa live without it. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), families walk long distances every day to fetch water that is often unsafe for drinking. Children suffer from preventable diseases, women lose hours of their day searching for water, and entire communities remain trapped in poverty because they lack this simple necessity. At WTFondation, we believe that water is life. This is why we are calling on you to support our mission and fund clean water projects.
The Crisis of Unsafe Water
Water scarcity is not just about empty wells — it is about the impact on human lives. In the DRC:
- Children are forced to miss school to help their families collect water.
- Women walk for hours each day, carrying heavy containers.
- Communities face diseases like cholera, typhoid, and diarrhoea, which spread easily through contaminated water.
- Farms fail without irrigation, deepening hunger and poverty.
These struggles keep families locked in cycles of hardship. But with clean water, everything changes.
Why Clean Water Matters
Clean water is the foundation for a healthier and more hopeful future. It means:
- Better health and fewer preventable deaths.
- More time for children to attend school.
- Safer pregnancies and healthier families.
- Stronger communities with better farming and economic growth.
Clean water is not just a resource — it is a pathway to dignity and opportunity.
WTFondation’s Commitment
At WTFondation, we are working to ensure that no family is left behind when it comes to access to safe water. Our clean water projects focus on:
- Building wells and boreholes in remote villages.
- Installing filtration systems to make water safe to drink.
- Creating rainwater harvesting systems in schools and community centres.
- Educating communities about hygiene and water conservation.
Each project is designed to be sustainable, empowering local communities to manage and maintain their water systems for years to come.
Stories of Transformation
In one rural village, families used to rely on a dirty river for drinking water. Children often fell sick, and women spent most of their day collecting water. After WTFondation built a borehole and installed a filtration system, everything changed. Children returned to school, sickness rates dropped, and women could focus on farming and small businesses. This transformation was made possible because of generous donors who chose to fund clean water.
How You Can Help
We cannot do this work alone. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us bring clean water to more families. Here’s how your support makes an impact:
- £20 can provide clean drinking water for one child for a year.
- £50 can contribute towards hygiene and sanitation training for a community.
- £100 can help build and maintain water filtration systems.
- £500 or more can sponsor a borehole to serve an entire village.
Your donation is not just money — it is life, hope, and a future for families who need it most.
