JUST ONE AFRICA BELIEVES IN…
CLEAN WATER
Digging deep water boreholes (wells) solves the access issue, and then we can move on to ensure it’s safe and clean. Creating access to clean water for the communities we serve is a game changer.
Each water filter provides clean water for up to 25 people and will last 10+ years. Every filter distribution includes water, sanitation, and hygiene training (WASH) for all recipients. Our filter follow-up program collects necessary data and ensures the filters are working well.
SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
Thoughtful partnerships with local leaders strengthen and build important strategies that grow and expand the resources needed to provide for children in vulnerable situations.
These strategies may include school buildings, safe housing, agriculture, livestock, and small businesses to increase capacity and essential resources for lasting growth.
local leadership
Over the last decade, we have built strong, healthy relationships with local leaders, expanding our reach and ensuring the success of our programs. Spending lots of quality time on the ground listening, learning, sharing, and serving has built deep partnerships that withstand crisis, hardship, and growing pains.
We support trauma-informed schools, rescue centers, and holistic programming in Kenya alongside these leaders.
Quality Education
Opportunities to learn in a trauma-informed environment, surrounded by teachers who consider themselves caregivers, change the impact of education on a child. It’s no small thing to change a life and our partnerships with educators and rural Kenyan schools make a profound difference on students.
By improving infrastructure, bringing clean water, supporting trauma-informed training, and deepening healthy connections, students are transformed from the inside out.

The Water Crisis
THE PROBLEM: Over 5,100 children die yearly from diarrhea caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation in Kenya. 41% of the 55 million people in Kenya do not have access to clean water—a true water crisis.
- People have no consistent access to clean, safe water. Common water sources are local watering holes for animals and people alike, runoff from Mt. Kilimanjaro, a small stream, or Lake Victoria (filled with raw sewage, industrial waste, parasites, bacteria, and disease.)
- Water-borne diseases is an ongoing, preventable health crisis in Kenya. People have been unprotected from epidemics such as cholera, typhoid, and parasitic worms.
- The exposure rate is exceptionally high because the water is not only contaminated at the basins and pumps where it is collected, but also the containers are almost always “found,” second-hand objects, often previously used for oil, fertilizer, or waste.

A Bigger Vision
Kenya has 3.6 million orphans; 47% are orphaned due to HIV and AIDS.
The long-term strategic goal of Just One Africa is to empower local leaders with sustainable solutions that provide holistic care for children in vulnerable situations. These solutions provide long-term access to clean and safe water, trauma-informed education, life skills training, safe housing, and more efficient agricultural methods. These continuing viable solutions will reduce the reliance on outside funding sources and provide them with the means and ability to provide for themselves and those they care for.
We strongly believe in local leader-focused sustainable solutions for long-term impact. We are dedicated to working closely with local leaders, investing in who they are, and building deep relationships based on trust and respect. We take a lot of time to listen and ask questions to determine what they desire to see happen in their communities. From that input, we move forward, creating sustainable solutions that will be managed, constructed, and maintained locally.
