			The Badi Foundation The Badi Foundation establishes community-based organizations in rural China by collaborating on education and training programs that promote balanced development. The Junior Youth Empowerment Program builds moral capacity in youth between the ages of 12 and 15, and the Environmental Action Program develops capacity of rural women to employ scientific approaches to find sustainable solutions for local problems. The Institutional Capacity Building Program aids these community-based organizations to develop their vision and enhance management of human and financial resources.

			Water Tanks for Masai Women in Kenya The Masai women of Eorr-Enteke near Kilimanjaro, Kenya, spend most of their day walking to and from a water hole without anywhere to store the water. These women are mostly uneducated and have no steady income, so having access to water at home is revolutionizing their lives. These large water tanks store 2,800 liters of rainwater, enough to provide the women and their children with a healthy water supply throughout the dry seasons.
