Hello Friend,

Did you know that women in Sub-Saharan Africa spend 16 million hours every day collecting water? Every. Day. And that they are frequently joined by their children. Even when water is close to their dwelling, it may be polluted, or they may have to wait in lines to retrieve it, or there may not be enough for all their needs. How can someone create a better future for themselves if they don’t have access to the most fundamental of all resources? It’s a big problem that will probably require many small solutions. Our solution is a Rainwater Catchment Tank. The technology can scale easily, requires mostly local resources for construction, can use one of our other technologies as part of their construction (more on that below), and can fit next to a house or a village or anywhere there is a roof. We like roofs.
