Watercan, Providing Clean Water With African Wells
It is now a known fact that the quality of the African Wells is just not keeping up with the need for clean water in African countries in development
. Access to clean water is hard, and the consummation of tainted water is leading to the development of many health conditions resulting in the death of men, women and children of those countries. In order to improve the system of African Wells and be able to offer easy access to clean water in those regions of Africa, WaterCan has developed programs helping those communities to better their quality of life.WaterCan is a leading Canadian charity dedicated to improve quality of life for impoverished communities in developing regions of the world. WaterCan believes that by working on establishing easy access to clean water through low-tech African wells, rainwater harvesting tanks and spring developments, it can help communities in poor African countries break the cycle of poverty and secure a brighter future for their children. Easy access to clean water means that the communities are able to maintain better hygiene, and eradicate health problems related to the consummation of dirty water; diarrhoea, skin and eye infection, intestinal parasites, typhoid, dysentery and cholera, for example. WaterCans goal is to promote self-help and education in those communities to encourage participation of each individual in the community as a way of ensuring that the water and sanitation solutions provided by WaterCan are sustainable and will last in the long term.
WaterCan has given their help to many communities all around the world with international projects in 32 countries, but the organization is now focusing its efforts on four east African countries: Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania. These four countries are in desperate need for reliable, low-tech and sustainable African Wells and clean drinking water systems. With the help of WaterCan and its indigenous partner organizations, community leaders are hoping to provide clean water, hygiene education and basic sanitation to all members of their communitymen, women, children, young and old.
Watercan is a project started by the late Michael Lubbock. Mr. Lubbock had seen first hand the povery and the helplessness of developing communities while visiting Peru in the mid-1960s. After working for CALA [Canadian Association for Latin America] for years, it was only in the mid-1980s that WaterCan/EauCan was officially founded with a vision focused on wells and water systems that use locally appropriate technologies as central point to eradicate povery and empower communities. While Lubbock died shortly after, in 1989, his vision and mission is well on its way to being realized, with WaterCan still helping many communities and individuals by giving them the necessary tools to survive and educate themselves on hygiene, sanitation and by giving them easy access to clean, safe drinking water from African Wells.
WaterCan does everything it can to help the poorest developing countries of this world to gain access to clean water, support hygiene education programs and help communities ensure a future for themselves. Making a donation to WaterCan is helping the world become a better place, by allowing the construction of African Wells in regions where it is needed the most, thus improving those communities life quality.
