Safe Water

Saves Lives

Your donation transforms impoverished communities in Sierra Leone.

58% of people in Sierra Leone don’t have access to basic sanitation services.

That includes clean drinking water.

Imagine spending hours each day sourcing water for your family, but the water you work so hard for isn’t even safe to drink.

Lack of clean water is a daily struggle for the people of Sierra Leone, and over 1,000 children under age 5 die each year from preventable waterborne disease.

We Have The Power To Change This

Water Is Life builds wells to provide communities with safe, clean water. Clean water reduces waterborne diseases and gives families the tools they need to live healthier, more productive lives.

Through water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programs, Rotarians mobilize resources, form partnerships, and invest in infrastructure and training that yield long-term change.

Our Work Is Far From Done

Despite our tremendous progress, more than half of the rural population in Sierra Leone still lacks access to clean water. We’re not done.

1000 wells by 2025

Our goal is to provide clean water to 1,000 communities in Sierra Leone. When we succeed, more than 3 million people will have access to clean water, bringing hope and better health to 40% of the country.
