Every minute, four children worldwide die from the consequences of contaminated drinking water. In Africa, over 800 million people have no access to clean water. Children do not go to school because they have to cover many kilometers with heavy water canisters every day.

A fountain changes everything. But a deep drilling machine is usually necessary to promote the clean drinking water. Gain helps with the necessary technology and staff in fountain construction in Africa.

Each fountain delivers drinking water for around 1,000 people. Gain bores fountains in Ethiopia, Benin, Tanzania, Togo and Sudan. More information about the project and how a fountain is created can be found here

Violence, exploitation, exclusion, no access to health facilities, education and therefore no chance of being a profession - a girl is a punishment in many countries.

With brutal consequences. 132 million girls don't go to school worldwide. 200 million girls and women are circumcised. Two thirds of all illiterates are female. Being a girl must not be a punishment.
