In episode 177 of the Disruptors for GOOD podcast, I speak with Chris Long and Sarah Evans, on their new partnership to provide more sustainable clean water sources to communities in East Africa.

The global water crisis is one of the most pressing issues facing our world today. Over 800 million people lack access to clean water, and the consequences of this are dire.

Without clean water, communities cannot thrive or grow, and the health of individuals is put at risk. To address this issue, the Chris Long Foundation and Well Aware have partnered to provide sustainable clean water sources to communities in Kenya.

Chris Long, a two-time Super Bowl champion and philanthropist, founded Waterboys in 2015 to address the global water crisis. The organization has been successful in providing aid to over 500,000 people in need. The partnership between the Chris Long Foundation and Well Aware will expand the reach of Waterboys' initiatives and resources to achieve maximum impact.

Well Aware is a women-led international non-profit organization known for its success and innovation in East Africa's water sector.

The organization has maintained a 100% success rate across all its water projects to date and is setting an exceptional standard for efficiency and sustainability in water aid.

Additionally, Well Aware's Well Beyond App empowers local leaders with ongoing project maintenance to ensure lasting water systems.

The partnership aims to improve rural water supply in Kenya and empower thousands with the clean water sources needed to survive and thrive. The two organizations have set a goal to significantly increase access to sustainable clean water for communities in Kenya.

The partnership will accelerate the impact of the Waterboys initiative as they play their part in helping to end the global water crisis.

In 2023, the Chris Long Foundation will join Well Aware in the field to visit completed projects and make plans to bring lasting clean water solutions to local communities.

The partnership between the Chris Long Foundation and Well Aware is committed to long-term solutions addressing water scarcity and innovation in the sector.
