Rural Water Infrastructure & Rainwater Harvesting
Supporting rural and peri-urban communities with sustainable water infrastructure including rainwater harvesting systems, water storage, and borehole rehabilitation to build resilience against water scarcity and climate variability.
Our Rural Water Infrastructure & Rainwater Harvesting project addresses water scarcity in rural and peri-urban areas by installing community-scale rainwater harvesting systems, rehabilitating boreholes, and building water storage capacity. We work with communities to design, construct, and maintain water infrastructure that is climate-resilient and locally managed. The project incorporates training on water storage, purification, and conservation techniques, ensuring communities can sustain water access even during dry seasons.
