A classroom should be a place of learning, not illness.
The Clean Water for Every School pilot programme currently underway in Rwanda is focused on installing reliable, high-capacity water purification systems in schools where children have historically relied on unsafe water sources.
The pilot is sponsored by The Drink Pure foundation and led by International Pure Water (IPW) in partnership with Empower The Future (ETF and The Ministry of Education), and it will lead the way to reducing waterborne illness, improve attendance and concentration, and building long-term water stewardship within school communities.
Designed as a scalable model, the pilot lays the groundwork for national and regional replication — proving that clean water in schools is a foundation for dignity, health, and opportunity.
