About UsThe NOW Foundation was created out of a deep passion and love for people. When we areremoved from complete poverty we don’t realize just how bad it actually is. In Africa,children die every day from water diseases. But it shouldn’t be the case.we can do something. And we will. NOW.

Initially the NOW Foundation was set up to raise awareness and help African villagesdiscover clean water and basic tools for farming, but it has since flourished into a way tohelp not only the villages, but also other poverty stricken people in as many places as wecan afford.

We are a new UK Charity Organisation that is dedicated to providing life-saving interventionto some of the poorest communities in Africa, Asia, and worldwide. We are committed toimproving the well-being of disadvantaged adults and children through the provision ofemergency water aid, sustainable water solutions, and food given through agricultural programs.

A world in which every human being has access to safe, clean water and no fear of dying from hunger.

Vision

MissionOur mission is to work in some on the poorestcommunities in the third-world to provide access tosafe, clean water. We provide emergency water aid todisaster stricken areas, as well as long-term sustainablesolutions for water access with the overall aim of improving The lives of communities we work in.Please join us on our mission to save lives.

Why Now?

Each year, approximately 840,000 people die from diseases contracted from drinking unsafe water. The most vulnerable people in society are also the most likely to suffer with young children most at risk, because their bodies aren’t strong enough to fight water-borne diseases such as diarrhoea and dysentery.

840,000 PREVENTABLE DEATHS?

40 BILLION HOURSIn the third-world, on average, people spend 40 billion hours every year walking in search of water to drink. Those who bear the greatest burden of collecting water are usually women and children. These journeys for dangerous water are often long and treacherous and frequently mean that children not only miss school, but are left vulnerable to abuse and sexual assault when they are unsupervised.

The immediate cause of the devastating food storage in the third-world affecting tens of millions of people is prolonged drought and communities destroyed by decades conflict. A lack of water is not only problematic for essential hydration and survival, but also for basic agricultural, industrial and household activities. A steady supply of safe water can dramatically improve the quality of life for millions of people and their communities.
