The Borehole Initiative

Today, 1 in 10 people still struggle to access clean, safe water. We are dedicated to making a difference every day because we believe in the life-changing power of water. Join us in transforming communities with safe access to clean water.

Access to safe water has the power to transform lives. It means more time for education and work, and improved health for women, children, and families worldwide. To effectively manage their menstruation, girls and women require access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities, affordable and appropriate menstrual hygiene materials, information on good practices, and a supportive environment where they can manage menstruation without embarrassment or stigma. Our project focuses on increasing access to safe, affordable, and sustainable drinking water, with a special emphasis on the needs of vulnerable girls and women. To expand our impact, NLS is collaborating with Team CSR-Ghana to drill additional boreholes, making a significant difference in our communities. This aligns with our local programing for Period Poverty/Period Dignity Campaign for 2024.

Shocking statistics reveal that millions lack access to safe drinking water, with dire consequences, particularly for children. It is our mission to change this. We aim to construct 7 boreholes each year in honor of our seven founders' throughout the African countries where we serve and have active members: Sierra Leone, Liberia, Senegal, Nigeria and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Join us in this life-saving effort by donating and supporting our cause to bring clean water to those who need it most. We welcome individual, Members, Chapters, Regions and National Sponsorships. Learn how you, your chapter and region can help.
