Water

is the secret key

that opens the door

to the future

We evoke change by providing access to clean water, sanitation, and income-generating opportunities while partnering with communities on a platform of empowerment, self-reliance, and sustainability.

OUR MISSION

THIS IS SOLVABLE

Simply put,

access to safe and reliable water

is not a reality for 663 million people.

Access to reliable, clean water doesn't just sustain life,

it is the key that opens the door to health, education, income, agriculture, empowerment, and dignity.

Learn how water traps millions of people in poverty - and why our work focuses not simply on gaining access to this precious liquid, but how we use it to transform lives.

WHY WATER?

DONATE

OUR STRATEGY

Creating access to clean water is the vital first step, but that is only the beginning.

We work hard to create sustainable projects that equip and empower

individuals using new water as the platform.

EVERY COMMUNITY PROJECT WE DO INCORPORATES THE FOLLOWING PILLARS:

A group of new community leaders is formed who become the guardians of the project. They are trained over a month to build self-reliance and ensure sustainability.

We train over the course of 2 months, but our partnership is long term. We train Committee members in Operations & Maintenance of the well, Hygiene & Sanitation, Women's Health, Sustainability of the project, and Agriculture techniques and innovations.

All wells are placed in the schools. This is a clean, safe, and reliable water source for the entire community to use. Wells are drilled by big machines reaching depths of 30-100m and fixed with a manual hand pump.

We include private feminine hygiene rooms into all our Sanitation Centers. A complete sanitation center is constructed at the school with boys / girls / teachers latrines, feminine hygiene rooms and a hand-wash station.

A comprehensive strategy is done to eliminate open defecation in the community - thus greatly improving overall health.

A 12,000 sq/ft garden is built in the school providing food security and income generation. This is a working garden that generates income to benefit the school, community and the sustainability of the well- and aims to inspire individuals to replicate in their home gardens.

We are partners with these communities for the long term and we embolden them with tools for self-reliance. However, we do our own part to make sure our wells are functioning and projects continue to run smoothly. Read more here.
