Our Clean Water Initiative represents one of the most ambitious projects Alepaca Investment Limited has undertaken. With the support of our generous donors and partners, we are bringing clean, safe drinking water to communities that have struggled with water-borne diseases and limited access to potable water for decades.
The Challenge
In the Eastern Region, over 60% of rural communities lack access to clean drinking water. Women and children often walk several kilometers daily to fetch water from contaminated sources, leading to widespread health issues and lost educational opportunities.
Our Approach
We employ a multi-faceted approach that includes:
Borehole Drilling: Using modern drilling technology to access deep, clean aquifers
Water Purification Systems: Installing community-scale purification units
Community Education: Training local water committees on maintenance and hygiene
Sustainability Planning: Ensuring long-term viability through community ownership models
Impact So Far
Since launching in January 2024, we have:
• Drilled 35 boreholes across 42 communities
• Provided clean water access to over 12,500 people
• Reduced water-borne disease incidents by 70% in served communities
• Trained 84 community water committee members
Looking Ahead
Phase 2 of the initiative will expand to 20 additional communities by mid-2025. We are actively seeking donors and partners to help us reach our goal of serving 100 communities by 2026.
Your support makes this possible. Every dollar donated goes directly to building water infrastructure and training communities.
