For over a decade, RAIN, the Coca-Cola system’s groundbreaking community water program, improved millions of lives and measurably contributed to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal on clean water and sanitation access (SDG 6).

Designed and managed by GETF, RAIN addressed specific community needs and created long-lasting impact through WASH and other water-based activities by deploying a network of over 350 public, private, and civil society partners for collective action. Implementing projects in nearly every African country, RAIN became one of the continent’s most impactful community water initiatives.
