Better Water
Lifeline is helping to address Africa’s water crisis in three ways:
-
We construct water infrastructure so that people can access clean water near their homes.
-
We operate a quasi-utility service (“EverFlow”) that ensures continuous water flow every day of the year.
-
We help smallholder farmers access irrigation equipment that boosts incomes and builds climate resilience.
Why Water? Because 800 million people across Africa drink contaminated water.
And we have come up with a new consumer product innovation that can improve water quality for the large majority of them.
Better Energy
Lifeline is helping to address Africa’s energy crisis through the production and sale of highly efficient cook-stoves that reduce reliance on wood-fuels.
Why Stoves? Because 90% of people across Africa cook with wood-fuel over an unprotected fire.
