Your impact
starts here.
75% of every gift sends a Texan student on a Trek — into the field, building solar power and clean-water systems alongside the communities that use them. The other 25% goes straight to clean water, where $1 gives one person safe water for a year.

Where the money goes.
Treks for Texan students
Funds Trek scholarships that put Texan students in the field. Trekkers travel to off-grid communities in East Africa and build the projects themselves — installing solar panels, batteries, and clean-water systems at schools and health clinics, alongside the people who will run them. Your gift is the difference between a student watching this work and doing it.
Clean water
Goes straight to clean water through GivePower's Solar Water Farms — solar-powered desalination systems that turn salty, contaminated sources into safe drinking water every day, for decades. By the Foundation's own math, $20 gives one person access to safe water for over 20 years — that's $1 per person, per year. So a $100 gift means 25 people drink safe water for the next year.
