A GIFT THAT IS MORE THAN JUST A GIFT
To “donate a gift of clean water in your name” means to contribute money to a charity or organization like Pearl Action Aid Foundation (PAAF) that provides access to clean water in developing countries, specifying that the donation should be attributed to you personally, essentially “giving the gift of clean water” on your behalf
Clean water should not need to be a gift but sadly not everyone in East Africa has access to this basic necessity. That is why buying a gift from Pearl Action Aid Foundation (PAAF) is not only a thoughtful gift to your loved one, but to families in Africa. Give a gift in honor or memory of someone you love. 100% of your donation will fund clean water projects for people in need.
At Pearl Action Aid Foundation (PAAF) we strive to provide a better future for those living in rural East Africa like Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and one of those ways is repairing and renovating broken boreholes so that hundreds of people in a village can have clean water.
Your gift will make a memorable present whether to celebrate a birthday, Easter, Ramadan, wedding gift, anniversary and more! The recipient will enjoy knowing that their gift will keep on giving long into the future too.
When you purchase a gift, we will send you a gift certificate and case study on the project to send to your loved one.
PROBLEMS
- Many villages have broken boreholes or shallow wells. People have to travel long distances, increasing pressure on working boreholes
- Some villages use river and lake water, leading to increases in diseases such as cholera
- Large amounts of wood are used to boil dirty water so it is safe
- District Councils and communities do not have the repair funds.
SOLUTIONS
- Pearl Action Aid Foundation (PAAF) Works with the community and District Council to identify boreholes and shallow wells in need of repair
- Provide funding for the purchase of spare parts to enable district maintenance teams to carry out the repairs
- Provide funding for transport and subsistence costs for the repair teams to enable them to reach the rural communities
