Looking back at 2022, it is striking how much the world is enduring. 45 million people in 43 nations globally continue to face the risk of starvation. Extreme weather conditions are more common as global temperatures soar, with the Horn of Africa experiencing an unprecedented drought: the worst in over 40 years. What’s more, 1 in 10 people on earth lack access to clean water.

Davis & Shirtliff is heavily invested in developing appropriate technologies with a focus on renewable energy that can provide affordable and enduring solutions to improve sustainable access to clean water. This leader in water and energy solutions has committed to make a substantial contribution to alleviate the drought crisis that is ravaging Africa.

Although some progress on the provision of water has been achieved in Kenya, a staggering 19 million people lack access to at least safe drinking water. Sustainable management of water resources and access to safe water and sanitation, corresponding to the United Nations 6th Sustainable Development Goal (UN SDG #6), are essential for unlocking economic growth and productivity, and providing leverage for existing investments in health and education.

Since its inception in 2018, the Davis & Shirtliff Improving Lives initiative has focused primarily on life-changing projects that increase access to water using sustainable renewable energy. The initiative has also undertaken water treatment projects, ensuring that communities not only have access to water, but to clean water that is safe for consumption.
