Our Mission“We work to build local capacity for village-based
hand-pump management, raise awareness and education of water, sanitation, and hygiene issues, advocate for policies
and development priorities that protect or improve access to clean water, and support community hand-pump rehabilitation
projects.”

Our Vision“We envision a future where all Gambians have access to clean water; a future where no rural community suffers from water shortages, broken water infrastructure, or waterborne diseases. We imagine a Gambia where all
citizens have their domestic, agricultural, and livestock water needs met by reliable access to a safe and
adequate water supply”
