It is well-known the act of charity can be a rewarding and satisfying act. However, what makes TNF stand out from a long line of organisations, is its emphasis on social and economic impact.
Over 17 million people in Kenya are without access to safe water.
Until recently Kibera’s only source was the Nairobi dam, whose unsanitary waters are rife with infections like typhoid and cholera.
In June 2017, The Nourafchan Foundation (TNF) announced Nour Maji, a first-of-its-kind sustainable water project that transformed Kibera and vastly improved the quality of life of its residents.
The Problem
High Water Costs
Studies show that Kibera’s residents are expected to pay more for clean water than wealthier Kenyans in the tapped neighbourhoods of Nairobi and, shockingly, their charges are higher than those imposed upon European and US citizens.
Perspective
To put the magnitude of this financial impact into perspective, Kibera’s households spend up to 20% of their income on water—which can be equal to the price of their rent.
The Solution
Increasing Water Availability
TNF’s sustainable water solution for the Kibera community marked a first positive step towards eliminating this detrimental cycle through greater availability and access to clean water, and their ultimate goal: a resolution to the problem through community driven action.
