OUR MISSION

At No Taps Foundation, we passionately believe that access to clean water is an inherent human right. Our unwavering mission is to create a transformative impact in the lives of communities on the shores of Lake Victoria and beyond by providing sustainable access to safe drinking water. Committed to confronting water scarcity and alleviating the agony caused by the dire water shortage in Africa, we progress by constructing water-filtration plants and fostering meaningful partnerships with communities. Together, we envision a future where clean water flows abundantly, empowering every individual to embrace this fundamental human right – access to safe and sustainable drinking water.

The Source

Lake Victoria basin, home to about 40 million people, is the world’s largest tropical lake. The once-pristine waters are now filled with raw sewage, industrial waste, parasites, bacteria, and disease and have become a breeding ground for hippos, making the water extremely contaminated and unsafe. This tainted water is a lifeline and a daily nightmare for the communities living along its shores. They rely on it for their most basic needs – gathering water, cooking, and quenching their thirst, all while facing the constant threat of waterborne illnesses and the shadow of death.

According to the United Nations, 2.2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, and this number is expected to rise due to the increasing effects of climate change.

“Our journey from lake to life isn’t just a path; it’s a transformation. The water’s voyage through our filtration system is more than a purification process; it’s a metamorphosis. What begins as a drop from a lake becomes a lifeline, nurturing vitality and propelling growth.”  

– Janice Selim CEO of No Taps
