Water and Environment Transformation (WET) is an organisation dedicated to restoring the waterways of Africa
Waterways are literally the natural arteries of the earth and are home to myriad species as well as providing drinking water, irrigation for the foods we eat and recreation to millions of people throughout Africa.
The sad truth, however, is that most of Africa’s rivers are badly polluted through human activity, negligence, stupidity and greed. WET was formed to provide know-how and resources to help rehabilitate that most fundamental of natural resources and human rights – clean, safe water.
OUR VISION
To restore the critically endangered rivers of Africa to health from source to sea. We also see an enabling environment for: Green Proclamation, Policy Development, Enterprise development and the development of the WET Training Institute. Our Mission is to provide knowledge, resources and skills in waterway and river restoration and waste separation & recycling at source creating sustainable income for communities, energising partnerships with stakeholders, developing capacity and presenting Train-the-Trainer programmes. The objectives of WET-Africa are to create community enterprises that focus on restoring our endangered rivers to health and animating communities and businesses to separate their waste at source for recycling. Major themes of our work include Poverty alleviation, Waterway Rehabilitation, Unemployment, Biosphere/ Environment, Health.
