For millions of people in rural Africa, clean water is still a distant dream. Women and children wake before dawn, walking miles to fetch unsafe water from streams and shallow wells. The toll is heavy — preventable diseases spread, school attendance drops, and hours that could be spent learning or working are lost to the daily struggle for survival.
At FracomTech Foundation, we believe water is more than a necessity — it’s a gateway to health, education, and opportunity. That’s why our solar-powered borehole projects are transforming lives in underserved communities. Unlike traditional water sources that break down due to poor maintenance or lack of electricity, solar boreholes offer a sustainable, low-cost, and eco-friendly solution. They harness abundant sunlight to pump thousands of liters of clean, safe water every day.
The Impact So Far
- 13 solar-powered boreholes installed, providing reliable water access to over 29,000 people
- Waterborne illnesses reduced by 74% in beneficiary communities
- Women saving an average of 3–5 hours per day, now redirected to education, business, or family care
- More girls returning to school because they no longer spend hours fetching water
Why It Matters
Access to clean water doesn’t just quench thirst. It restores dignity, improves health, empowers women, and keeps children — especially girls — in school. For families once trapped in the cycle of poverty, a solar borehole is often the first step toward freedom and opportunity.
How You Can Help
