Welcome!
Living Water Africa helps disadvantaged communities in Africa free themselves from the trap of Water Poverty.
LWA is a small charity with a big vision: the eradication of deaths from foul water in our lifetime!
Our messsage is simple: Foul Water is the biggest killer on the planet, and causes untold misery.
Yet it is easy and cheap to fix - today it kills virtually no-one in the Western world!
The continued existence of this issue is the greatest scandal of the 21st century.
It's greatest support remains the ignorance of the Western public - help us fix this!
"An estimated 42,000 people die every week from diseases related to low water quality and an absence of adequate sanitation. This situation is unacceptable." UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
"If we fail to get to grips with water and sanitation,around 4,000 people,mostly children,will continue to die needlessly every day simply because of preventable diarrhoea." UK Government Department for International Development (DFID)
"It is the world’s greatest scandal." 2008 World Water Week
"this scandal of human indignity" Dr. Pasquale Steduto,Chair UN-Water
"We have the ability to provide clean water for every man,woman and child on the Earth. What has been lacking is the collective will to accomplish this. What are we waiting for? ... We need a new global culture that finds the existence of millions of thirsty people thoroughly and immediately unacceptable." Jean-Michel Cousteau, United Nations World Summit on Sustainable Development
The excitement of our very first wells back in Summer 2011!
