Public benefits
1.There is a reduction in sickness in communities as they no longer drink contaminated water, instead they have an improvement in health and well being by using clean water. 2. By being healthier, people are more productive in work and better able to earn a living. Girls who previously had to walk long distances for water can now attend school
full-time which improves their educational prospects. 3.The remote villages can be challenging to access, but their inhabitants still have a basic right to clean water. Apart from the health benefits, providing this service makes these people feel valued and encouraged. 4.In these areas the local churches may be the most active institutions caring for the phys ical and spiritual needs of the people. These congregations see this water provision through the charity as supplying one of their most basic needs. This impacts everyone and helps to deepen personal faith as people see this as a practical example of caring. 1.There are fewer visits to the local clinics and the community overall is in better health. This is assessed through monitoring and interviews with clinic staff. 2.Reports of people being more able to earn a constant living. Head teachers reporting an improvement in school attendance and exam results, particularly among the older girls. 3.The feedback from the communities - the depth of their heartfelt appreciation and the improvement in their physical and mental health. They no longer feel forgotten. 4. Through increased faith and regular worship, people live more focused and fulfilled lives and the community is more united. There is no harm arising from any of our purposes. The charity's beneficiaries are people in East Africa and developing countries, regardless of age, gender or faith, who are in need of clean and safe drinking water. There is no private benefit flowing from any of these purposes.
What your organisation does
Water Drops Partnership works with local partners to identify communities with the greatest need for clean water provision. These are in remote areas where few or no other relief organisations have reached. We relieve poverty and promote health by the provision of clean and safe drinking water. We harvest rain water using gravity-fed systems,
filtered into water storage tanks. We also drill bore holes which are serviced with solar pumps. Also, we tap into other available water sources to create storage. We hold capacity building workshops for locally elected Water Management Committees to nurture ownership and responsibility for the future sustainability of these projects and the economical use of water.
