At FWEF we work to improve access to safe water, sanitation, hygiene and Energy (WASH-E) in South Africa and other African countries.
Whilst each of these issues has its own field of work, the success of each is dependent on the others.
We focus on people ‘left behind’ by progress over the last 25 years.
For example, without toilets, water sources become contaminated; without clean water, basic hygiene practices are not possible (UNICEF).
CEO & FOUNDER
At FWEF we work to improve access to safe water, sanitation, hygiene and Energy (WASH-E) in South Africa and other African countries. We focus on people ‘left behind’ by progress over the last 25 years.
Whilst each of these issues has its own field of work, the success of each is dependent on the others. For example, without toilets, water sources become contaminated; without clean water, basic hygiene practices are not possible (UNICEF)
Our programmes are diverse, and solutions depend on multiple factors including how the water is contaminated, where the source is, what the terrain is like etc.
For some villages, we will implement gravity fed systems and treatment where water runs down from a source at the top of the hill into a village where it’s stored, treated and used. For others, we install rainwater harvesting units that capture and filter rainfall for household use.
