Clean, safe and sustainable water changes everything!
Water is an essential necessity that allows children to live healthy lives.
Water for children Africa, Inc. is a registered 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization that was founded by Vickie Butcher J.D. and Richard Butcher M.D. in San Diego CA in 1993.
Our Mission is to provide self-sustainable clean waters solutions to rural school and communities in African countries.
Each year we facilitate the African Trade and Business Conference in collaboration with educational institutions and local businesses.
Our invited speakers inform and educate our youth and communities on current issues related to the African continent.






People make a difference. Our successful work is the result of dedicated people who volunteer their time, assist with their expertise, and believe in our mission.
We thank all our volunteer board members, leadership team, countless volunteers, funding partners, donors, village leaders, for their continuous support.
