These pictures show how a typical Raincatcher Water Tank is built. This is a small tank for a village called Kagongwa that receives virtually no rainfall during the hot months of the dry season. The supply of stored rainwater from the water tank is a lifeline for the children.

We assess each project that Raincatcher is approached to fund against a range of criteria. These criteria ensure that we are happy that our money is going directly to where it’s needed and is having the greatest possible impact.
That means all Raincatcher projects have been well thought out and that they will be responsibly and sustainably implemented. We also agree measures and how progress will be reported to ensure that each project continues to fulfil its original objectives.
