The physical endeavor involved in collecting water is tremendous for many in our community; the wells are few and far between and many are unsafe. To address this:
- We have created local community wells at multiple locations however they require maintenance
- Solar powered wells with secure foundation are our safest option to protect the children who retrieve water however the funding for this advancement has not yet been secured
- Access to jerricans is also not a guarantee limiting supplies in many rural households experiencing poverty – we donate to those in need and provide guidance to local safe water sources and deliver directly as we can
- Our end goal is to create sustainable “Water Neighborhoods” to address the full water cycle and waste management
