People Helping People
Breaking the Cycle of Poverty.
We partner with African communities to deliver clean water, life-saving health initiatives, and sustainable empowerment, turning the fight for today into a future of hope.
Our Purpose
Where Poverty is a Full-Time Job
In countless villages, life revolves around a single, relentless task: finding safe water. Illness is constant, and potential is lost. P2P was founded by Chris Roesel to change this reality, not by delivering aid, but by building partnerships. We work alongside communities, teaching, training, and empowering them to build their own healthy futures.
Our Mission
To directly implement high-impact, low-cost solutions. We build protected water supplies, eradicate malaria, and empower women with access to health and economic opportunities, one village at a time.
Our Vision
We see a future where African communities are self-sufficient and thriving. A future where every child is healthy, every family has safe water, and preventable diseases no longer claim lives.
Targeted Action, Lasting Change
Our Core Initiatives
Clean Water & Sanitation
Building the foundation of community health through clean water access, wells, and hygiene education (WASH).
Malaria Elimination
Protecting vulnerable families, especially children, from a preventable and deadly disease through proven strategies.
Women's Empowerment
Fostering economic independence and better health through Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA). We partner with TCP Global (https://www.tcpglobal.ngo/)) and local organizations.
Refugee Community Support
Providing vital water and health resources in settlements like Nakivale Refugee Settlement in SW Uganda and Bidibidi in Yumbe, NW Uganda, and South Kivu, the DRC.
Founder's Commitment
Driven By a Proven Model for Change
Our founder, Chris Roesel, was inspired by a simple, powerful idea: the Jamkhed Project in India. This model proved that by working alongside trained community grandmothers, infant mortality could be drastically reduced for just $1.80 per person. P2P applies this same high-impact, low-cost philosophy to empower African villages to build their own healthy futures.
