A letter from our director
This was our biggest year, and the water points we built are still working.
In 2025 we brought clean water to 186,000 people in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. That is more than in any year before.
This report shows where we worked, what changed for families, and where every pound went.

The job is done when the water point is built.
What really happens
Water points break. So we train and pay local mechanics, and every point has a repair fund.
