What is a Sand Dam?
A sand dam is a simple, low-cost, and low-maintenance structure that stores water underground, protecting it from evaporation and contamination. The benefits are far-reaching:
- Clean, year-round access to water for drinking, farming, and livestock
- Healthier communities, with fewer water-borne illnesses
- Time savings for women and children, who often bear the burden of collecting water, leading to better school attendance
- Sustainable farming practices that boost food security and income
- Improved climate resilience in drought-prone areas
Our Goal: £40,000 to Transform Lives
We are aiming to raise £40,000 to:
- Construct a sand dam in Makueni County
- Deliver climate-smart agricultural training for the next 3–5 years
- Support more than 500 individuals in the Nthiani and Kavatini villages and surrounding areas
This isn’t just about water. It’s about freedom from aid dependency, long-term self-reliance, and restoring dignity to some of the world’s most overlooked communities.
