With the generous support of partners and friends through the GlobalGiving platform, AID Sierra Leone was able to construct a water point for a community of about 250 residents. The organization continues to use its low-cost technologies to providing safe drinking water in rural communities in the country which includes a wide range of low-cost options such as hand-drilled wells, rainwater harvesting systems, etc.
The organization has also been engaging the communities we serve in sensitization drives via face-to-face, radio, and TV on the importance of the wells constructed and how they can manage it well to ensure ownership for sustainability.
We are grateful to the partners and friends who donated their hard-earned cash towards this project via the GlobalGiving platform. Please be rest assured that through your generous support, you're positively impacting lives and communities.

According to a survey by WASH-Net and partners, 57% of Sierra Leone's population has access to safe drinking water. 30% of all schools are without running water and 14% of all under 5 child deaths are due to diarrhea and other water-related illnesses. Women and girls are particularly affected by spending time and energy on water collection on a daily basis.
In an effort to change the narrative in a positive light, the organization has been engaging communities in sensitization drive via face-to-face, radio, and TV on the importance of the wells constructed and how they can manage it well to ensure ownership.
With the generous support of our partners and friends, we constructed a water point for a community of about 200 people in the Western Area Rural District of the country.
