Let's transform lives together

703 million people worldwide do not have access to clean water. That's twice the population of the United States. The majority live in rural regions, where they devote hours each day to the arduous and time-consuming task of gathering water for their families. Oftentimes, the water they collect carries diseases and parasites. If we work together, we can end the global water crisis in our lifetime.

Access to clean water not only positively affects community health, but also provides the stability needed to enhance education, nutrition, income management, and overall wellbeing.

Who we've helped so far

Kalahari Resorts is just getting started on our journey to bring clean water to one million people in Africa. So far, we've funded 790 projects and served approximately 224,171 people.

The family behind the pledge

The Nelson family, founders, owners, and operators of Kalahari Resorts & Conventions, have been unwaveringly committed to enhancing the well-being of African communities through clean water initiatives for the past six years. In 2019, they initiated the Water Colors Life Project, aimed at showcasing the talents of African artists while also supplying clean water to underprivileged communities through the construction of boreholes and wells. Their dedication and enthusiasm for assisting others have grown over the years, leading to a partnership with charity: water.

They are dedicated to making the world a better place and passionate about creating opportunities that improve the lives of those in need. To expand their impact, they have made a long-term commitment to deliver clean water to one million people in Africa, the country that inspired them to build the Kalahari Resorts.

Water gives Joy, Let’s Celebrate!

Todd Nelson, owner and CEO of Kalahari Resorts, shares this with all his guests, "There is never, nor will there ever be, a more beautiful place on Earth than Africa."

The warmth, love, and joy experienced when interacting with the African people are truly remarkable. Joy and celebration are evident in every corner of the continent. In collaboration with pop stars Rae and Bongi, we have produced a music video titled "Water Dance," which honors the stunning vibrancy of Africa and the happiness that access to clean water provides. We invite you to enjoy this celebration of life and culture.
