Description

A gift of a hafir creates a home water source to reduce the need for women and children to haul water long distances. This 12-m3 trench is lined and covered with plastic to decrease evaporation and filtration. Surrounded by a natural jatropha tree or acacia thorn fence to keep animals and small children out, a hafir can hold 12,000 liters of water and only costs 1/50th of other conventional options! During the rains, the tank collects and stores rainwater that can then be used for various tasks during the dry season, such as watering home gardens.

* Provide a hafir for one family (USD 30).
* Train families to purify the water for kitchen use and help neighbors to build their own hafir (USD 100).
