Take action on World Water Day!

Water and sanitation is one of the Foundation’s key areas of action and it has helped to bring clean water to hundreds of communities over the years. For instance, in 2021 we collaborated with the organization Bénin Enfants Sains to install two fountains that provide drinking water to the rural villages of Folly-Condji and Allowa in the West African country of Bénin.

These fountains have had a significant impact on improving the health of 4,000 people, especially children who are particularly at risk of waterborne illnesses that can cause death.

In addition to the installation of the fountains, this $13,300 project also included the training of local women to manage the fountains and to act to prevent waterborne diseases. They are continuing to transmit their knowledge, thus making for a healthier village.
