Strides for Africa

This year, Strides for Africa has the goal of raising $40,000 to support seven clean water and sanitation projects in Malawi, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. These efforts are guided by local input and focus on sustainable, community-led development.

Nimba County, Liberia – $12,000. Funds will support the installation of three hand pump wells at schools or communities in Nimba County. The projects are intended to address water-related challenges for both students and families in the surrounding areas.

Clean Water Access in Malawi – $10,000. Strides for Africa is continuing work in Malawi by funding a shallow borehole well in a rural village. The well is expected to provide consistent access to clean water for households with limited options.

Kabala, Sierra Leone – $10,000. Two new water points will be installed in Kabala to serve schools or communities in need. Community partners will help to identify locations as high-priority sites due to limited existing water access.

School Water and Sanitation Project in Tanzania – $8,000. This project includes the construction of improved latrines and a basic clean water system at a primary school. The goal is to improve hygiene conditions and support safer daily routines for students and teachers.

Each of these initiatives is designed in partnership with local organizations, with an emphasis on lasting functionality and community ownership.
