We believe empowerment is the path to sustainable community development.
Founded in 2010, Friendly Water for the World trains and equips communities with sustainable village-scale technologies to safeguard and conserve essential resources. Together with the communities we serve, we provide sustainable, replicable and scalable approaches in three program areas: Water Security, Building Better, and Good Hygiene.
We begin by mobilizing communities to become self-reliant, while investing in them through training, start-up capital, and administrative support. Friendly Water promotes self-organization of various groups, and provides capacity building support, income generation, skills training, and baseline funding.
What we build, we build together.
Stories
I love babies and teaching them is my passion. I have been in
this school for the last three years and my children have been
struggling to get water from home to school. It has been hard
for them. Being minors, they could come to school tired
already and with no more energy for learning. It was
hard for the kindergarten children struggling and scrambling
for water with the senior learners. I was always afraid of a
stampede, which could affect the young ones most, but still
they got injuries from that. I am glad I have a 25000-litre
capacity tank here that will serve my 138 pupils very well and
conveniently.
I am one lucky and proud parent of Timbito Primary School because all my three
children are schooling there. They don’t have the same struggles of fetching water
for the school like I did while there as a student. My children and I have benefited from this
project tremendously.
In my coordination work, during the previous
years and before the tank, I found it challenging because I had to make sure that
every worker was responsible for getting water to the school. This often created
animosity amongst us, as some would say they were not employed to fetch water for
the school. At one point, I almost resigned, but I want to thank Friendly Water for
giving us this tank. This gift has not only given us water, but also restored our sour
relationship. Therefore, I can attest that as much as water is Life, it is also Peace.
