💡 Did you know that over $300 billion sits in Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) waiting to be deployed?

If you have a Donor-Advised Fund, you have already taken the beautiful step of setting money aside for charity. On this DAF Day, we ask you to help us build momentum and put those funds into action!

Your DAF grant can close critical funding gaps and help FACE Africa bring access to the clean water, safe sanitation, and health education resources that everyone should have to last-mile communities all over West Africa.

The funds are there - let’s put them to good use!

💧Thanks to YOU, we just struck water AGAIN!💧

Right now, our field teams are deployed across 3 regions in Liberia, including Rivercess County - one of the country’s most underserved regions.

Thanks to our partners Last Mile Health and support from each one of you, we are aiding 32 new communities over the next 6 months through access to safe water, and health education.

Thank you for creating life-changing moments like this one in Kitaly town. 💧🇱🇷🩷

Building up local artisans and creating local jobs is a core value for us. 🛠️

We believe in capacity building at every level of our work. Not just for the communities we serve, but for the contractors and staff we hire. All our FACE Africa construction team members come from the communities and regions we serve, and therefore their hearts are deeply rooted in the work. Most of our team members come from rural areas and have faced the same challenges of lack of access to safe water and sanitation in their own communities.

Giving local contractors a chance to give back to their communities, while further developing their carpentry skills means we are creating a ripple effect that will long outlast our presence in the places we work.

Hiring local + upskilling = multi-generational impact

Knowledge + Resources = Better health for families 💗

Health and nutrition education, paired with access to clean drinking water and sanitation gives parents and community members the knowledge and resources they really need to thrive.

With your help we are partnering with more last mile communities this year than ever before. Equipping families with the tools and health knowledge they need to sustain healthier, happier, more prosperous lives.

For the women in our communities, pride, self-confidence, and self-reliance goes hand in hand with access to clean water, sanitation, and economic opportunities.

Thanks to you, we have been able to provide hundreds of thousands of women with safe water facilities, private and dignified sanitation, and income-generating opportunities.

Together, we are leaving no woman behind, and ensuring a brighter, more gender-equal future for all.

Hydrogeologic surveys are a critical component of our work.

Aquifers consist of layers of rock, sand, or gravel that hold groundwater. Most groundwater does not flow in a river channel; instead, it seeps slowly through tiny spaces in the rock like a giant underground sponge.💧

We combine the science of hydrogeologic surveys with the trusted wisdom of local elders to pinpoint the best location for our water points ensuring we truly honor our communities’ and the ancestral land.

If you want to go fast - go alone. If you want to go far - go together. That is our team motto.

This is why ‘locally led’ is so important. Everyday, our field teams are building trust and creating safe spaces in our partner communities, ensuring we fully understand the real situation on the ground and stay ready to adapt to the ever-changing conditions.

Community engagement means crafting long-lasting, equitable partnerships with our communities that stand the test of time. Sustainability doesn’t just mean long lasting water and sanitation systems, it also means deepening and nurturing relationships in our communities. 💙

As part of our strategic expansion plan for Liberia, our field team has just mobilized to Maryland County, where we are doing multiple new community and school WASH initiatives.

A photo fresh from the field: our first WASH Committee training in rural Hoffman Station. Led by Jerryline Larky , the 12-week training will meet twice weekly in each community, while water and sanitation infrastructure installation will begin in the next 3 weeks.

Community leadership is key to the success and long-term sustainability of our holistic WASH programs, and we’re excited to reach more vulnerable communities every day, thanks to the ongoing support of our monthly and yearly donors.

After months of preparation and community engagement, when we finally hit the underground river, there is always an unforgettable eruption of cheer, prayer, and song.

This is what last-mile impact looks like: not one-size-fits-all, but built around what each community actually needs.

This young girl from Gbayan town proudly stands outside her new bathroom built by FACE Africa and funded by our dedicated partners at The Well-Built Foundation No more walking far into the bush to find privacy. No more risking her health and safety. And no more shame and embarrassment.

Since 2009, our female-centered WASH programs have changed over 700,000 lives in rural communities and schools across West Africa — and this is an example of how truly life-changing one simple intervention can be for a girl.

Special thanks to former NBA player Malcolm Brogdon and his wife, Victoria Brogdon, who believe that real change happens when you create community-centered solutions that are gender-positive and climate-resilient. 🚺🩷
