In the face of crumbling infrastructure and worsening storm surges, the residents of Florence, South Carolina, have gone without safe drinking water for years. With the town being 47% Black and grappling with environmental justice issues, Rev. Leo Woodberry, pastor of the Kingdom Living Temple in Florence decided he was unwilling to wait any longer on government assistance and launched a crusade to make clean water in his community an actual reality. After combining funds that were saved and money that was raised, he acquired and installed four solar hydropanels at his church — an innovative technology that uses sunlight and air to produce clean water, filtering, storing, and even running water to homes and businesses. An integral part of our grantee partner New Alpha Community Development Corporation (@newalphacdc), Rev. Woodberry’s overarching mission is to expand this life-changing technology and provide clean, accessible water to even more community members in Florence and beyond.

Woodberry is taking action! https://lnkd.in/gTpRXJEh #TheSolutionsProject #DecadeOfSolutions #LetsCreateTheFuture
