Changing lives one life at a time will change the world for better!

Every day more than 6000 children die from the effects of drinking dirty or contaminated water!

More than 1 billion people in the world don't have access to clean water and 2.5 billion have no sanitation and most of the developing world lives on a dollar a day.

We believe this CAN BE CHANGED if every one of us makes a contribution towards making our world a better place for all.

Vision Africa is doing its part in the fight against the effects of poverty by providing water and sanitation, hygiene education and nutrition in the rural communities, through HIV/AIDS orphan care and through working with governments in establishing projects that will bring lasting change to African communities.

We invite you to join us in making Africa a better place for all!
