Programs
At Rustic Clean Water Initiative (RCWI), our work is guided by a deep commitment to empowering communities, promoting health, and fostering long-term development. Our programs are designed to address urgent needs while laying the foundation for sustainable, community-driven progress.
Safe Water & Sanitation
Increasing access to clean water, sanitation facilities, and menstrual hygiene management in Primary Schools in at least 50 communities and 100 schools by 2030. Access to clean water and proper sanitation is essential for health, dignity, and development. RCWI is dedicated to ensuring that rural and underserved communities can live healthier lives through:
-

We provide reliable sources of clean water by drilling, rehabilitating, and maintaining boreholes in water-stressed areas. -
Construction of Washrooms and Latrines
We improve hygiene infrastructure by constructing safe and accessible washrooms and latrines in schools, health centers, and public institutions. -
Water Purification Training and Distribution
We empower communities with knowledge and tools for water treatment through training sessions and the distribution of purification solutions. -
Hygiene Education Programs
Our outreach campaigns teach safe sanitation practices, including handwashing, menstrual hygiene management, and disease prevention.
Youth Empowerment & Skills Development
Provide essential support to at least 1,000 vulnerable youth, widows, orphans, and at-risk children, by ensuring better opportunities for vocational and entrepreneurship skills education by 2030. Young people are at the heart of sustainable development. Through skills training and mentorship, we unlock their potential and create pathways to economic independence:
