About Us

We are passionate about ensuring that Africa’s future generations have access to clean water, sanitation and energy.

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).

OUR PROGRAMMES

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.

OUR METHODS

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.

FRANCIS WATER & ENERGY FOUNDATION

FWEF consists of a strong technical team, with a strong body of volunteers, supporters, and ambassadors, governed by a dedicated and expert board of trustees. We build relationships, collaborate with other NGOs in South Africa to provide access to our diverse networks of projects. We are a charity organization affiliated with a social enterprise that raises funds and awareness for water, sanitation, and energy issues across South Africa. We invest in the future by advocating for change, funding research, and building partnership capacity.
