🔊 Community-led ownership of water and sanitation systems reduces dependency on external stakeholders, enhances community ownership for improved WASH operation and maintenance and is a potential cost saver. At Water Action we believe in; ✅ Mandatory community involvement in decision-making processes. ✅ Local management of water infrastructure. ✅ Establishment of community-led water committees or structures. ✅ Enhancing business opportunities for communities around Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH).

Water makes up 60-75% of human body weight. A loss of just 4% of total body water leads to dehydration, and a loss of 15% can be fatal. Yet millions of people across the world don't have access to and adequate supply of clean water. Something must change!

At Tigal Water Splash 💧, we’ve created countless memorable moments as we work to uplift and empower communities. However, we've faced a challenge: capturing these impactful moments with the quality they deserve. Our current method of using a regular phone for photography often results in low-quality images that don't do justice to the incredible work being done. We are reaching out to potential donors for support in acquiring a professional camera for our fieldwork. Having a high-quality camera would greatly enhance our ability to document our projects, capture the true essence of our work, and share these powerful stories with a broader audience. With better quality photos, we can: 1. Raise Awareness: Vivid and clear images can help us effectively communicate the impact of our projects and the needs of the communities we serve. 2. Boost Fundraising: High-quality visuals are a crucial part of compelling presentations and fundraising campaigns, helping us secure more support. 3. Increase Engagement: Engaging and professional photos will improve our presence on social media and other platforms, attracting more supporters and partners. 4. Create Lasting Records: Quality photos provide a valuable archive of our work, preserving our history and progress for future generations. We believe that with the right tools, we can better showcase the transformative work being done and inspire more people to join our cause. If you or anyone you know can help us with a camera donation, it would make a significant difference in our ability to document and share our journey. #CommunityEmpowerment #DonateACamera #SupportOurMission #QualityMatters #FieldWorkPhotography

Modern day miracles 🙏 Wine To Water and our amazing community of supporters are helping thousands of families have access to safe drinking water here in #WNC. From small household filters, to large community systems, to bulk water deliveries, and even providing food and housing, we've been responding since day 1 of this storm helping tens of thousands of people, and we'll be here for the long haul. A HUGE thank you to all our volunteers and corporate partners that support this mission we care so deeply about.

Water - the elemental elixir, flowing through veins, nourishing cells, sustaining life. Have we taken water today? If not, pause and grab a cup. Hydrate with two full glasses - feel it refresh, renew, and revitalize. Our bodies and minds thrive when properly hydrated. Now recharged with cool, clear fluid, let's dive deeper to explore water's profound impact. Water is essential to our health and well-being. Experts even recommend drinking at least 8 cups of water daily for proper hydration and optimized bodily functioning. Staying hydrated is crucial as we go about our daily activities. The benefits of drinking adequate water daily include 💧Waste elimination. 💧Healthy skin, hair, and nails. 💧Body temperature regulation. 💧Proper joint, eye, and tissue lubrication 💧Improved digestion and nutrient absorption. 💧Increased brain function and energy levels. 💧Enhanced physical performance and exercise ability. However, we cannot thrive on unsafe, contaminated water. Globally, nearly 2 million deaths annually are attributed to unsafe drinking water, sanitation, and poor hygiene. To protect human and ecological well-being, we must reduce sources of water pollution through actions like 💧Reusing, recycling, and avoiding plastics. 💧Properly disposing of hazardous waste. 💧Keeping trash out of waterways. 💧Using eco-friendly products. 💧Maintaining septic systems. 💧Preventing chemical runoff. 💧Conserving water. Access to clean, fresh water is a basic human right. By becoming mindful citizens who reduce waste, conserve water, and prevent pollution, we can work collectively to ensure safe drinking water is available to all communities globally. Clean water is a basic right and should be made universally accessible.

This is a tough reality as we think of the challenges affecting women/girls in their efforts to access to water and sanitation services.

Schools can be a key factor in initiating change by helping develop healthy hygiene habits. Good hygiene behavior learned at an early age can lead to lifelong positive habits. School children can also influence the behavior of family members, both adults and siblings, and positively influence the community as a whole. Churo Girls We have achieved a lot from support from Jayme Barraca Kingdom Builders International Ministries . Filter distribution, We have connected water from the main borehole to the school and in extension to Churo day and Murtena pry .

I do not need to explain anything here! We all know who this is for! Do you have a similar story from your country? If politicians would put a response placard, what would it say? #PREF4WASH

11 Reasons why #sanitation 🚽 🚻 #marketsbasedapproach in #Kenya and maybe other countries is still stuck at pilots, number 1-11 will shock 🤯 you: 1.      The Gatekeepers of Sanitation: Most of the Public health professionals are convinced that only 'sanitation people' (whatever that means) are qualified to work in sanitation #marketsbasedapproaches. 2.      Tech Saves Everything: Also they believe #technology alone can solve 90% issues of our sanitation crisis. ***In comes the #GlobalNorth from No.3-11 3.      Degrees, Please: #LocalEntrepreneurs are the heroes of the story, they (the Global North) even want to work with them but they best hold a degree. 4.      Be Creative, But Obedient: They expect you to be authentic, creative and take #risks but you must follow their rules and restrictions that got lots of safe alternatives… Even their emails scream, “STOP! That’s not how we’ve always done it!” 5. Original Ideas... That Aren't Yours: They demand “original #innovative solutions,” but only if they’ve been tested, stamped, by a #GlobalNorth organization. Bonus points if you call it a “pilot” instead of “copy-paste.” 6.      Borrow, Steal, Adapt: If you #pitch a good idea, congratulations! They’ll take it (copy), repackage it, implement it and term it “#adaptation.” You? Oh, you’re just “an inspiration.” 7.      Trust Issues: You can only be #trusted, if you can be controlled.  8.       Bought, Not Built: Stick to their playbook, and they’ll label you “#marketready,” which means they’ll invest in you (or, more accurately, buy you). 9.      The Facilitation Fee Fiasco: They’ll fund you 100%, but with a catch. Staff quietly demand highs of 50% as a "facilitation fee." You’ll still be expected to deliver sparkling results—on half the budget. Good luck! 10.  The "Level Playing Field" Illusion: The global north donor said the playing field is even. But what they meant is that they'll bring in their own proven prescribed ideas and technology from their countries, fund their corporates heavily, make them the partner of choice on products and services. The locals will have to compete with them. Odds of winning: slim to none. After all they are not yet proven. They are not endorsed. Eventually the market they claimed they'll #disrupt they've now #distorted 11.  Blaming the Market: When it all inevitably flops, they shrug and say, “The sanitation market in Kenya just isn’t viable.” But how can it be if the rules of engagament including parameters for measurement of impact are foreign and un-localised? 📌 Let’s start giving real sh*t about sanitation. Flush with purpose - Flush away inequalities!
