About Us
Access to safe drinking water is a human right. Still million of people around the world do not have access to safe and clean drinking water. In many places, wood is burned to disinfect the contaminated water. Burning wood leads to deforestation, erosion and CO2 emissions. Tusafishe is an initiative installing water purification systems to underprivileged communities, giving access to clean and safe drinking water.
Our Solution
Tusafishe is fighting climate change by saving lives.

Tree Planting and Tending
Trees will go a long way to help in the fight against climate change. Yet so often tree planting programms do not go beyond planting.
