This project will construct 12 ten-seated latrines (one in each of the 12 zones in Buduburam settlement), install 20 bill boards with specialized hygiene and health messages throughout the camp, and establish a community sanitation tools-bank system to make tools available for community cleanliness. The project will employ residents of the camp for all phases of construction and maintenance, thereby giving jobs to those who need them most. After completion of the sanitation project, IHSAN will revisit the water needs of the community and identify potential boreholes. IHSAN is partnering with Global Volunteer Network and Children Better Way to complete this project. The total cost per ten-seated latrine is $9,000; the total cost for the 20 billboards is $1,200; and, the total cost for the tools-bank system is $2,500.

Samburuland in northern Kenya is expansive and
remote and due to changing climate patterns, the nomadic lifestyle
of the 150,000 people of the Samburu tribe is seriously threatened.
This long-term project aims to construct 120 Open Reservoirs (measuring
100m x 100m x 10m and can contain up to a phenomenal 100 million
litres of water) along the northern elephant migration route. Water
is collected in these dams during the rainy seasons and will allow
the Samburu tribe, other people, livestock and wild animals to
survive, even in the dry season. IHSAN is partnering with Wherever
the Need to complete this project. Each dam costs approximately
30,000 USD depending on the size. An individual donation
of 50 USD will provide livelihood through water for one individual
for their entire lifetime.

IHSAN is partnering with PlayPumps International, a dynamic, non-profit collaborative that forges innovative partnerships with individuals, foundations, companies, and governments to improve the lives of African children and families by providing access to clean drinking water, enhancing public health, and offering playground equipment. All this is achieved through an innovative piece of playground equipment: the PlayPump® water system. This life-changing invention can provide easy access to clean drinking water, lead to improvements in health, education, gender equality, and economic development, and bring joy to children. PlayPump systems are innovative, sustainable, patented water pumps powered by children at play. IHSAN looks to sponsor the first five Playpumps in Zambia. The cost of a PlayPump water system is USD $14,000. This one-time investment includes the costs for equipment, manufacturing, site evaluation and water testing, and installation. The price does not include the borehole which is usually an in-kind service from partners. A PlayPump system can serve a community of approximately 2,500 people for a minimum of 10 years. Therefore, the cost of providing clean drinking water can be broken down to less than USD $6 per person. Over the course of the guaranteed 10 years, this cost is less than USD $0.60 per person.

An individual donation of 50 USD will provide water, sanitation, hygiene and job training for one individual for their entire lifetime. In some villages in Sierra Leone two out of every five children under the age of five die as a result of an insufficient supply of clean water and sanitation. Livelihood promotion is impossible without good health: if people have access to clean water and sanitation, they are better equipped to fend off disease, which in turn renders them able to work, attend school and save money that would have been spent on medicines. IHSAN is sponsoring projects throughout the Pejeh Chiefdom to provide 17 villages (25,000 people total) with programs in water conservation through Rainwater Harvesting (RWH), hygiene education and professional development. One of the villages is current completed through IHSAN corporate and individual sponsorship. IHSAN is partnering with Wherever the Need to complete these projects. Water hand pumps, Eco-san toilets, rainwater harvesting tanks, and professional livelihood programs cost 60,000 USD per village (per 1,500 population). An individual donation of 50 USD will provide water, sanitation, and job training for one individual for their entire lifetime.

Many disadvantaged communities
in central Kenya depend on the Malewa and Turahsa rivers for their
livelihood. However, with low
rainfall, poor soils, denuded hillsides and a limited outlet for
their produce, these communities have declining opportunities for
survival. In addition, these two rivers are also the life
line to tourism and the major horticulture and floriculture businesses
at Lake Naviasha, on which Kenya’s economy depends. IHSAN
is sponsoring the construction of 30 Dams, rainwater harvesting
equipment and water education programs to provide livelihood to
20,000 people in the Malewa upper and middle catchment area. Ultimately,
the project will improve the health of individuals once clean drinking
water is provided, women and livestock will not have to walk for
long distances to find water, and farmers will be able to irrigate
their land for better crop production, leading to an improved income. Each
dam, rainwater harvesting and education program costs approximately
25,000 USD. An individual donation of 50 USD will provide
livelihood through water for one individual for their entire lifetime.
