In this video, HUB (Humanity Unites Brilliance) founder Charlie Stuart Gay and Feed the Children founder Larry Jones discuss HUB’s RainCatcher installations in Africa with Fred Mango of RainCatcher Kenya.

The simplest way to catch, store and deliver clean drinking water is through with a RainCatchrer.  Along with impact partner, Raincatcher.org, HUB has installed raincatchers in schools in Africa and also supports efforts to dig water wells.

Unregulated irrigation along the shores of Lake Victoria in Africa has drastically lowered the availability of clean water. Women and children  become critically ill through lack of water or usage of dirty water.

With the support of impact partners like Raincatcher.org, HUB has installed many RainCatcher water tanks at rural school sites, with guttering on the roofs and water filters.  http://www.monolithic.com/stories/a-practical-life-sustaining-water-filter 

Now children and their families can have clean water for drinking, washing and gardening.
