Our Vision & Mission

Our vision is simple: a world in which no one is forced to drink contaminated water or expose themselves, their family, and their environment to the harms associated with cooking on an open fire.

With this vision at the core of all we do, Lifeline’ s mission is to bring clean water and fuel-efficient stoves to displaced and impoverished communities in sub-Saharan Africa and Haiti.

In order to accomplish this mission Lifeline embraces an entrepreneurial spirit, a bottom-up philosophy to development and a flexible operational approach.

Lifeline’ s clean water and sanitation (WASH) and fuel-efficient stove (FES) programs use the most cost-effective technologies and self-sustaining interventions, thereby providing disadvantaged individuals with the tools they need to lift themselves out of poverty and improve the quality of their own lives.
