Why Water?
Nearly one billion people have no access to clean, safe water. The dirty water they do have makes them sick. It robs children of hope. But it doesn't have to be that way.
We know that access to clean, safe water changes lives.
We know that when a well is installed for a village, girls return to school. Women begin small businesses. Men are no longer too sick to work. Fields are watered and food supply becomes more reliable. Health returns and children grow up to be productive members of their community. The cycle of poverty is broken. Lives change.
Access to clean, safe water isn't an end, it's a means.
"When water comes...everything changes." That's what our driver told us as we drove from town to town on our first trip to Kenya. Today, we see that change - and want share it with you - every time a new well is installed. Join us.
