The Water Project is a non-profit organization that works to distribute clean water to less-developed communities around the world. A recent project of theirs was the installment of a rainwater catchment system in the Kavumbu Secondary School in Kenya, in addition to a hygiene and sanitation training for all kids. This now provides fresh drinking water and clean toilet water for all students and staff at the school. The community is extremely grateful for this installment because without clean water, it is difficult to run a school. Normally, the school has to buy water and charge the families for it, but now families feel safe sending their children to school and the faculty does not have to worry about meeting basic needs for their students. I find great interest in non-profit water organizations because the lack of fresh water is one of the biggest issues in our world that we actually have the power to fix!
