Fair Future’s #WaterConnections project is a beacon of hope in Tanambanas, Sumba, where every drop of water is a treasure. By collecting and filtering rainwater, we’re creating not just reservoirs but sanctuaries of health. Dive into this inspiring story of how innovation and collective effort are changing lives, one drop at a time.
Water Connections

The Water Connections category documents long-term interventions designed to ensure safe and reliable water access in ultra-rural settings.
Articles describe the planning, construction, and maintenance of wells, gravity systems, reservoirs, and distribution points, combined with basic sanitation and hygiene measures. These actions follow WHO water and public health standards, recognizing clean water as a core determinant of health. By reducing exposure to waterborne diseases, supporting hygiene, and improving daily living conditions, water connections contribute directly to lower morbidity, child health protection, and community resilience.
