International Transformation Foundation (ITF) is an international youth-led non-profit organization providing youth educational and self-development programs, encompassing leadership and entrepreneurship, to harness creativity for a youth system that provides jobs, offers security, opportunities to grow, and contributes to the development of our communities.

Since its establishment ITF has been developing and operating youth development programs to lead the youth of today as leaders with strong hearts and minds as true workers of society with creative and progressive thinking. Our current projects are:

1. Join the Pipe Project: Installing sustainable tap water stations near playgrounds, city centers, parks, schools, and bus stations in Africa; for people to access clean tap water whenever possible.

The project also works to bring awareness to the environmental impact of production and waste of bottled water through two ventures:

· A water kiosk at school: a school-based and students-managed business selling clean tap water to community residents. It involves financing a community school to set up an onsite water kiosk with specially designed and sustainable products for children to transport tap water at home straight from school. It is both an educational and profitable business – teaching students business and entrepreneurial skills, and generating much-needed income for schools.

· Public drinking tap water station: In partnership with urban Communities/Towns/Cities we install our non-breakable drinking water station in Public places for people to access clean drinking tap water free of charge.
