With the radical changes in climate, famine looms  in 2010 with arid lands in many parts of our world. It is critical that water reaches these places, that water is caught when it does rain and in addition dirty water be purified through simple canister and straw filters

What is also extraordinary is there is a lack of pure water in countries that receive an abundance of rain. The most simple way to catch, purify and deliver clean water is through raincatchers.  Along with impact partner, Raincatcher.org, HUB has installed raincatchers in schools in Africa and supports efforts to dig water wells as well.

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.

HUB is installing 6,000 to 24,000 liter raincatcher drums at multiple school sites, with guttering on the roofs and a filter system fitted into the drum. Now children and their families can have clean water for drinking, playing, washing and gardening.
