Water Conflict
Our wells align with 4 of the top 10 ways to decrease water scarcity stress + conflict. We build with the communities— sensitive to cultural + environmental conditions—with sustainable use + infrastructure design. #GIVEWATERGIVEPEACE
Health
With access to clean water, the number of water borne illnesses+ deaths decreases drastically, which in turn elevates the health of the Community. Less time + money is spent on health related care + costs + families don't have to see loved ones suffer. #GIVEWATERGIVEHEALTH
Gender Burden

2 Wells Under Construction
We build hand-pump borewells in small villages that serve a sustainable number of households.
We partner with local construction organizations to build our wells.
Currently, a well-digging crew can bring clean water to a village for $10,000-$15,000 US dollars.
With time now for school, we have donated 4,200 tuitions. Water + education together lift the entire Community.
