For the second year in a row, WASH is back in classrooms across Kenya. Together with Xylem, our team is visiting 16 schools to educate 6,830 students about WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) practices that help reduce the spread of illness, prevent waterborne diseases and keep students in the classroom.

Safe water is just one piece of the puzzle. Building lifelong healthy habits matters, too, and we’re excited to share more from GivePower’s WASH efforts soon.

For millions of girls around the world growing up looks different.

They spend hours each day collecting water, cooking meals, cleaning the home and caring for family members.

Globally, girls ages 5–14 spend 160 million more hours every day on unpaid domestic work than boys. That’s time taken away from learning and opportunity.

At GivePower, we believe a girl’s future shouldn’t be limited to whether her community has access to safe drinking water or reliable electricity.

When safe water is closer to home and classrooms have power, girls gain more time to learn, dream and shape their futures.

100% of your gift supports GivePower's projects. Just $20 can provide access to safe water for someone in need for up to 20 years. Become a monthly donor today and help power brighter futures for girls around the world. 🩵 https://tinyurl.com/43aa3cb5

In Haiti, women are the backbone of household survival. They collect water, manage food and absorb daily shortfalls—all while earning 32% less than men.

Through GivePower’s Solar Water Farms in Anse-à-Galets and Pointe-à-Raquette, safe water access is helping ease one of the daily burdens women face. Women are at the center of the work, helping ensure their neighbors have safe, reliable drinking water every day. To date, this work has helped deliver over 72 million liters of safe drinking water across Haiti.

With that access, women are able to reclaim their time. Instead of spending hours collecting water, they are generating a reliable income and building financial independence. This helps create greater stability and new pathways for women and their families.

"Rosie, Josiane and Anderline are three strong, remarkable young women who help to lead the teams in Haiti for GivePower. Their dedication to providing safe water at this critical time for Haitian communities speaks to the resilience of the greater Haitian population. They have persevered during natural disasters, political instability and insecurity to ensure that the teams are safe, equipped and ready to meet the day’s challenges.”

Join us in celebrating how Rosie, Josiane and Anderline’s work is helping women across Haiti build more independent, empowered and healthier lives. 🩵

After a 2024 Trek to Chindi, Kenya, CAC saw that safe water was still out of reach.

So, this year, we teamed up again. Now, a solar-powered water system is delivering safe drinking water to the local school and medical dispensary, supporting students, patients and families every day.

This is what continued commitment looks like. 🩵

Every mother around the world deserves safe, reliable care for her children and herself.

But today, health facilities serve more than 1 billion people with no electricity or reliable power. Without reliable electricity, even basic maternal and neonatal care becomes difficult.

In many clinics, healthcare workers rely on flashlights or cell phones to deliver babies at night. Meanwhile, life-saving equipment can’t be powered when it’s needed most.

Together we're helping to change that. Over the last decade, we’ve brought clean energy to clinics across eight countries, reaching over 236,000 people.

This Mother’s Day, help us honor mothers around the world by powering what’s next. 🩵 https://tinyurl.com/fejx69kb

In a rural village in Nepal, women are leading the way, and the entire community is stronger because of it.

For years, families in Daduwa spent hours each day walking across difficult terrain to collect water.

That’s changing now. Women have led efforts to find a solution that brings safe water to every neighborhood.

Last month, Boundless, Inc. Trekkers joined them to help bring this project to life, installing a microgrid to distribute safe water to the whole village. Now, Daduwa has better safe water access, health and daily life.

Thanks to Derek Vecchione, Bruce Hodges, Bryan Ward, Bobby Braun, Jon Taylor Muir, Jeremy Wicks and the rest of the team for making helping us empower Daduwa village!

Every day, women carry so much. They take on family duties, social obligations and the invisible labor that keeps everything moving.

For many communities, this means long walks to collect water, safety risks and hours spent on simple daily tasks.

With clean energy, that burden begins to lift. GivePower brings safe water closer to home, supports food processing and provides reliable light so daily tasks can be done at any time.

That shift creates time and space for women to invest in their own growth. It gives them more opportunities to learn, rest and build financial independence.
Because when women thrive, the positive impact reaches everyone.

This month, follow along as we celebrate what’s possible when we empower women.

In 2024, "Happy Sidi" was a local mother of two simply trying to make ends meet.

One day, she noticed contractors clearing the bush and preparing the ground for what would soon become a GivePower Solar Water Farm in Mtwapa, Kenya. That’s when inspiration struck: the team would need food while working under the scorching coastal sun.

So, Happy Sidi launched a small catering hustle. Every day, she delivered ugali, fish and tea to the workers on-site.

Months later, safe drinking water began flowing. Nearby communities flocked to the new GivePower Solar Water Farm, where safe water was finally accessible and affordable. Mothers, children and boda-boda (motorcycle taxi) drivers became some of the first customers as the site quickly came to life. Just 200 meters away, boda-boda drivers began creating a new gathering place as economic activity around the Solar Water Farm grew.

Happy Sidi saw another opportunity: where people gather, people get hungry. She used her savings to build a small food kiosk, locally known as "Kibandaski," serving boda-boda drivers and their customers. This time, instead of cooking from home, she brought her business directly to where opportunity was growing.

Then, GivePower began sending bowsers to distribute safe water deeper into the community. Happy Sidi stood in line like everyone else, but while others waited, she was thinking ahead. She saw how far some mothers still had to walk, and how quickly the bowser’s water supply ran out.

So, Happy Sidi took her boldest leap yet. She purchased a 5,000-liter water tank and opened a licensed water kiosk, helping bring safe water closer to her neighbors.

Today, Happy Sidi is more than a business owner. She is proof that where safe water access grows, opportunity flows. In her own words, "GivePower brought us water. Water brought people together. And people brought business."
