Excellent Development supports some of the world’s poorest
people by helping them to transform their own lives through
soil and water conservation in drylands.
We work with local partners to support rural communities to
build sand dams, which provide clean water for life and the
opportunity to develop their livelihoods. Sand dams free
communities, putting their future firmly in their own hands.
We believe that they will enable millions of the world’s poorest
people to transform their own lives - and it is our intention to enable 1 million sand dams to be built for
0.5 billion people by 2040.
