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.
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 comprehensive strategy is done to eliminate open defecation in the community - thus greatly improving overall health.
WHO WE ARE
We dedicate ourselves to development work that has the power to open the doors for better health, education, opportunity, and empowerment.
CLEAN WATER IS OUR ACCESS KEY.
We are dedicated to providing access to clean water, sanitation, and income generation while partnering with communities to empower individuals with the tools - after water is available - not simply to survive but THRIVE.
