Operation H2O is dedicated to developing solutions to help solve the water problems in east Africa and around the world. This website will give you a good idea about what we do, how we do it, and how you can help. Please spend sometime looking around on our site and if you have any suggestions, or comments please let us know.
All donations, and profits from the store are used for water projects in East Africa. 100% of your funds will be used to deliver clean, fresh, and living water to the people who need it most.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that in 2003, approximately 1.1 billion people had no access to safe water and 2.4 billion had no basic sanitation.
Lack of clean water and sanitation leads to a wide range of potential diseases. These include cholera, typhoid, malaria, yellow fever, filariasis, river blindness, sleeping sickness, guinea worm, bilharzia, trachoma, scabies and more.
Most importantly, dirty water is often the cause of ordinary childhood diarrhea, a leading killer of African children.
Our aim is to reduce the prevalence of water and sanitation related diseases and improve the general hygiene standards among impoverished African communities by providing safe and adequate water and sanitation. These communities are also trained in local leadership and financial management skills in order to manage more effectively the operation and maintenance of water and sanitation facilities.
