Water & Sanitation
We believe that water is one of the most essential elements in ensuring communities to a fulfilled and healthy life.
To provide clean water and sanitary living conditions for communities, our approach is to provide infrastructure and physical resource like wells, water pumps, and ventilated improved pit (VIP) latrines. In addition, we strive for communities to adopt healthy and sanitary practices through education and awareness Water and Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) programs.
- Access to clean water and manage water and sanitation facilities.
- Provide basic hygiene education and supplies
- Mobilize water sanitation committees and build their capacities
- Engage local communities in sanitation projects
Water Transforms Education
Children often walk miles each day to collect water causing school attendance rates to decrease. We strategically build our wells near schools so families have incentives.
Water Transforms Health
Families regularly drink filthy water from muddy puddles or nearby rivers – often the same source of water used for washing dishes or sanitation. This practice causes exposure to cholera, malaria, and other debilitating diseases. Clean water dramatically improves the health of families.
Water Transforms Safety
Women and children often collect water by themselves miles from home, leaving them vulnerable to assaults. A new well in the village provides easy access to water and allows families to stay within their community.
