Our Goal
Naïade
Sponsor in the spotlight
Impala Foundation wants to provide safe drinking water for schools in Rwanda through servicing existing Naiade water purification units in Rwanda at the lowest cost possible and by raising funds to make more Naiades available.
Impala Foundation
Impala Foundation (Stichting Impala Foundation) is based in The Netherlands and founded in 2015 by Sita Humalda. Impala Foundation collaborates with the official importer of Naïade in Rwanda, a Dutch national, who has made a dedicated technician available to install and service Naïades in Rwanda. Impala Foundation maintains contact with the fundraisers in The Netherlands as well as with the contacts in Rwanda.
Quota International & Soroptimistclub
Quota International Zeist e.o. and Soroptimistclub Zeist have joined forces and adopted the Naïade project and have been the main fundraisers during 2015 - 2017.

Special
Living for many years in Africa have blessed me with some very special friendships. Even now, after more than 30 years, there is this special bond because we experienced so many things together in civil war strikken Mozambique. Water played an important role whether it was the drainage system in Maputo, Cahora Bassa or dredging in the port of Beira and Maputo; Dutch engineers were involved. Massaro Interim & Advies in the Netherlands is owned by one of those engineers and specialises in infrastructural projects. Our friend Ton Massaro is a firm believer that good quality water management is not self-evident and combined with his affinity for Africa has been very generous supporting Impala Foundation. Water is very often part of infrastructural projects and Massaro has also offered his expertise through technical support in respect of water related questions if necessary. Please check the website for more information here and on the project here. A very BIG thank you!
