We are proud that our continuous support to establish water projects village by village through partnerships and self-sustainable solutions has had long-term impact since 1993. Water for Children Africa operates in 18+ countries and continues to expand.
Installed a borehole and manual pump to supply water for 500+ residents. Training provided for local maintenance teams and water committees.
Installed hand-wash stations and raised awareness in schools so children adopt better sanitation practices and avoid disease.
Solar-driven pumps reduce diesel dependency and provide reliable water for drought-affected households and livestock.
Rooftop catchment and tanks for schools and clinics to secure water during the dry season and support hygiene needs.
Community-managed wells with training programs for pump upkeep and local governance to ensure sustainability.
Installed 10,000L tanks at schools to provide drinking water and hand-wash facilities, and reduce absenteeism.
Access to clean sustainable water. Over 33 years of dedication to provide clean water to rural villages in Africa. “Water is Life”.
Starts with hydrological survey, regulatory permits, mobilizing drilling equipment and personnel, test pumping of drilled boreholes, and development to supply the community with clean sustainable water. Raised tanks provide access to gravity-fed water. Good-yielding boreholes provide extra water for communities and schools to do kitchen gardens.
Includes hand pump installation and repairs. WCA Inc. repairs broken hand pumps installed by poorly planned programs to restore community access to water.
Construction of bases for heavy storage tanks, water pans, sand dams, and other groundwater reservoirs for domestic, livestock, and school gardens to improve food security and recharge aquifers.
WCA builds and installs hybrid decomposition sanitation with wash stations to improve hygiene and reduce waterborne disease.
Most WCA projects are at schools. WCA provides school supplies and soccer balls, replacing homemade balls to bring joy and encourage education.
Deforestation and soil erosion have filled community water sources with silt. WCA addresses water challenges through de-silting, silt traps, water testing, native tree planting, and organic farming education to protect catchment areas and increase yields.
WCA provides wheelchairs, light medical devices, and organizes free medical camps in rural clinics. Founded by Dr. Richard O. Butcher, WCA believes no child should die from contaminated water.
WCA invites partners to break the poverty cycle through education and trade. The Africa Trade and Business Conference strengthens ties between the U.S. and Africa. In Africa, WCA promotes cottage industries to ensure self-reliance, enabling communities to maintain clean water systems and reduce dependency on foreign aid.
