Improving Sustainable Access to Clean Water for Communities Impacted by Climate Change

The Samburu PRoject (

Non-governmental organization (NGO)

)

#SDGAction50717

Description

In accordance with our mission, vision, and the Water Action Agenda, TSP is committed to facilitating the implementation of 60 new water projects over the next 5 years, delivering clean water to an additional 60,000 people by 2028. Furthermore, by 2033 we are committed to bringing water to every Samburu person, permanently eradicating the "walks for water" currently burdening women and children every day in this beautiful, arid region.

Expected Impact

As a small organization, working directly with an indigenous, people greatly impacted by climate change, this commitment to the Water Action Agenda is both a realistic and sustainable solution that directly addresses items 6.1, 6.4, and 6b of the Water Agenda.
