Projects are currently implemented in Senegal, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Cambodia, with supporting activities in Uganda and Switzerland.
Across diverse landscapes and contexts, work is structured around four programs addressing water access, food systems, ecosystem restoration, disaster risk, and urban resilience.
Access to safe water and sanitation remains unequal, especially in rural areas, schools, and health centers where centralized systems are absent or unreliable.
The daily burden of water collection continues to affect health, education, and dignity — particularly for women and girls.
See how we respond
Rainwater, when properly managed, becomes a reliable local resource. This program transforms rooftops into water sources and pairs infrastructure with community engagement to ensure safe and lasting use.
See the change we make
Soil degradation, erratic rainfall, and climate extremes threaten rain-fed agriculture — the backbone of food security and rural livelihoods in many regions.
See how we respond
By managing rainwater at field and landscape level, soils regain fertility and farming systems become more resilient. This program strengthens food sovereignty through agroecological practices adapted to local contexts.
See the change we make
Deforestation, erosion, and ecosystem degradation increase exposure to floods, landslides, droughts, and water scarcity. As climate extremes intensify, vulnerable communities face growing risks.
See how we respond
Healthy ecosystems act as natural buffers. By restoring landscapes and managing water at watershed level, disaster risks are reduced while biodiversity and ecosystem services recover.
See the change we make
Urbanization has disconnected cities from the natural water cycle. Stormwater runoff, flooding, and heat islands are increasing, while rainwater is still treated as waste rather than a resource.
See how we respond
Rainwater can be reintegrated into cities through nature-based solutions. This program focuses on expertise, awareness, and advocacy to support more resilient urban water management.
See the change we make
Before, we always worried about water. Now, when it rains, I smile. I know my fields will grow.
We used to wait for water trucks. Now we wait for clouds.
I can go to school on time. I don’t spend a long time getting water anymore.
