Program accomplishments
- Between July 2024 and June 2025, we continued our work in Rwanda, Africa. In the first few months of the fiscal year, we completed our clean water filter distributions in the sectors of Rukumberi, Kagogo, and Jarama. In October 2024, we moved into the new sectors of Mugesera and Kinoni where we trained volunteers and future filter recipients in proper hygiene and sanitation practices. Over the course of the fiscal year, 20 Liters provided household filter systems to 1,965 families, built and distributed 11 community filters to schools and health clinics, constructed 13 rainwater harvesting systems at local churches and installed 515 slow sand filters. Our volunteers in Rwanda also provided community health and hygiene training to 2,253 members of the community. Filter builders, event coordinators and leadership volunteers totalled 252 individuals who provided 758 hours of service.Expenses $236,119 · grants $124,028
