Programme
We provide and scale water access for vulnerable populations

Access to safe water remains a critical challenge as sector funding declines and climate shocks strain fragile systems. This programme aims to provide access to water in vulnerable settings. Our partners work in both humanitarian and development contexts.

Our focus is on systems that last, not just infrastructure, prioritising finance, partnerships and climate resilience.

Examples of partnerships:

Project Flow is part of UNHCR’s Strategic Framework for Climate Action in response to the growing global climate emergency and is a key initiative under UNHCR’s Operational Strategy for Climate Resilience and Environmental Sustainability 2022-2025.

“Kenya 23 – next level” is a revisit and expansion of the “Kenya 23” project (2014), which again was a revisit and repair project reaching out to communities that had received a water system as a gift from Grundfos in 2005. In Kenya, the Foundation’s strategic partner, Water Mission, works directly with communities and local government to ensure technical, social and financial sustainability in each water project.
