Water Utility Strengthening in Egypt (2016-2018): In Egypt, RAIN partnered with USAID, Chemonics Egypt Consultants, and the water utility in Sohag to reduce non- revenue water. Through RAIN’s support, 24,000 people received improved access to clean water. Improvements to the utility network resulted in approximately 800 million liters of water being replenished annually.
Improved Water Supply in Somaliland (2013-2020): Working with the utilities in Burco and Hargeisa, RAIN and its partner Terre Solidali, have reached over 220,000 people in Somaliland with improved access to safe and affordable water to date – including internally displaced persons who received first time safe water access. RAIN is continuing to work in Somaliland to further improve access to safe and affordable water for residents of the capital city, Hargeisa.
Sustainable Agriculture in Ghana, Malawi, and Mali (2016-2020): In Ghana, Malawi, and Mali, the RAIN-supported CARE Water Smart Agriculture project is empowering women smallholder farmers through improved agricultural practices. At least 40,000 women will benefit from increased production and improved food and water security for themselves and their families.
Watershed Protection in South Africa (2017-2020): In partnership with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in South Africa, RAIN is implementing watershed protection activities with the aim of improving water security. Under the Greater Cape Town Water Fund, we are working with women to clear water-intensive alien plants and restore the natural vegetation in critical catchment areas. These land management improvements help to boost recharge of the Atlantis aquifer, Cape Town’s largest, and to increase water availability in Cape Town’s reservoirs.
