Rock catchments

Wendo Wa Mwau rock catchment Rock catchments utilise the surface run-off of water from flat rocky outcrops on hilltops. By building channels around the rock, rainwater is guided into a pipeline that supplies one or more water tanks.

Since 2002, Excellent has supported communities to build 15 rock catchments, with each one able to collect up to 104,000 litres per tank for domestic use.

Could you donate today and supply more communities with the tools, hardware, support and guidance they need to transform their own lives with lifelong access to clean water?

Climate crisis: Save lives and land

Support dryland communities to build sand dams, sustainably manage land and implement a range of environmental protection measures so that they can prevent and reduce land degradation and adapt to climate change.

School water tanks

Water tanks store rainwater collected from the roof of schools. A typical school water tank can collect up to 104,000 litres of water, and they refill every rainy season. Each water tank can last over 25 years and require little maintenance. Each one provides water for generations of children.
