Water is life….and death!
A lack of access to water or safe drinking water has dire consequences. In sub-Saharan Africa, over 40% of children drink contaminated water, causing millions of deaths and illnesses. Obtaining water can be arduous and time-consuming. Every year African women spend billions of hours collecting water and transporting it to their homes.
Africa Oasis believes that everyone should have access to clean drinking water. We work alongside communities to improve access to uncontaminated, life-giving water through catchment systems, water wells, and bucket filters.
Our strategies focus on local church partnership by using local resources to address local challenges because we know that LOCAL LASTS LONGER. All net proceeds go to designated projects and programs. Thank you for your support.
Recently, Africa Oasis sponsored a bucket water filter project in Rugombo, Burundi. Rugombo is a small community of approximately 25,000 people. A local Burundian church, led by Pastor Ciza, wanted to reach their community in Word and deed. Illnesses caused by contaminated water were a frequent issue so the church decided to provide the bucket filters as a way of giving families clean water.
