Hope Foundation BICM's Mission Our mission is to provide clean drinking water through the drilling of wells and water treatment in Kenya. How You Can Help We will drill wells and enhance access to clean water in Northern Kenya. Water scarcity has compromised education and sanitation, forcing girls to withdraw from school to support their families. People are forced to walk over five hours to collect water.

Visit the Clean Water Project website for more details.
