International Transformation Foundation, Inc. is a Houston-based, 501 (C) (3) non-profit organization that provides Americans with an opportunity to actively support communities in Africa by helping them access clean and affordable drinking water. As a sister organization to the International Transformation Foundation in Africa, this expansion into the USA also seeks to offer young people in the United States of America educational, cultural, and social volunteering opportunities.

Our main mission is setting up water kiosks at schools and public drinking water fountains in communities across Kenya and Rwanda. For every project, we send young people (high school, College or university students or recent graduates) from the USA to the location where these projects take place in Africa to be part of the implementation in an internship-like program where they gain a unique cross-cultural experience, personal and professional growth.

We also offer personalized fundraising focused trips for individuals and organizations to be a part of the implementation of these water kiosks and drinking water fountains.
