Mission
To provide reliable, safe drinking water and to strengthen smallholder agricultural productivity in the same communities — because neither problem can be solved while the other is ignored.
Status
AquaTerra Initiative is currently in the process of formal registration as a non-profit organisation. Until registration is complete:
- We are not yet soliciting or accepting public donations.
- Any funds used for pilot activity are contributed personally by the founder.
- All partnerships, MOUs and site work are documented and published.
Replace this section with your actual registration number, jurisdiction and date once issued.
Principles
Community first
No project begins without a community request and a named local committee that will own the asset.
Maintainable by design
We favour technologies that a trained local technician can repair with locally available parts.
Radical transparency
Quarterly public ledger of income, expenditure and project outcomes — including failures.
Measured, not assumed
Water quality testing and yield baselines before and after. If it isn't measured, it isn't claimed.
The Founder
AquaTerra Initiative was founded by a single individual — [your name] — currently responsible for programme design, field work, engineering and reporting. As the organisation grows, the first hires will be a field water technician and an agronomist.
