Community Building Group builds boreholes, rainwater catchment basins, small-scale irrigation systems and solar electrification for communities that need them most.
Community Building Group builds boreholes, rainwater catchment basins, small-scale irrigation systems and solar electrification for communities that need them most.
Community Building Group partners with rural communities in Burkina Faso to design water and energy systems that are built to last — owned, maintained and led by the people who use them every day.
We believe access to clean water and reliable power isn't charity — it's the foundation everything else is built on: health, education, food security and dignity.
Learn Our StoryBefore a well arrives, women and girls in many of our partner villages walk as far as 12 kilometers a day to fetch water — time and energy that comes directly out of the school day and out of family income.
When clean water is available year-round, that changes. Women no longer spend the day walking for water. With irrigation equipment replacing manual watering by hand, girls are freed from hours of labor hauling water to family gardens — and school attendance rises.
Every project is designed with the community, built to last, and handed over with the training to keep it running.
