The WHOlives team has set ambitious goals for 2024 to combat water poverty, end child marriages, eradicate female genital mutilation (FGM) and help villages thrive. Here’s how you can help us create lasting change.
The nonprofit WHOlives is getting more high-profile recognition for its success in spreading access to clean water to millions of people. The field was highly competitive, with “35 innovative, mission-driven organizations and changemakers selected from almost 1,000 applicants from more than 70 countries.”
The organization is urgently working to raise $100,000 for the construction project and other efforts to end violence against women in southwest Kenya.
Shocked to see African girls walking long distances to fetch nasty water, John Renouard dreamed of a solution. Now, 13 years later, the Village Drill is providing a lifetime of clean water and more for millions of people all over the world.
The Village Drill can be set up in the field in less than two hours, and its assembly was particularly quick during a recent demonstration. Watch this 50-second time-lapse video.
The organization started by asking police in Migori County what they needed to protect young women. Fulfilling one simple request has sparked a wave of arrests and convictions. Officers needed gas for their cars to investigate more of these crimes. Fuel donations, supplies for safe spaces and other no-nonsense strategies are on track to making 2022 “The Last Cut.”
