The Need for Water
Women and children walk for hours, miles each day. Waterborne diseases kill millions.
Empowering Communities
We work with regional aid organizations to identify and implement water projects, and provide training to communities to help sustain the success of completed wells.
1700 Wells, 800,000+ People
Since funding our first well in 2008,
