Our water projects bring clean water to people’s doorsteps.
We install individual tap stands and toilets for all households within a village. By ensuring a safe water source and reducing open defecation, we see sharp drops in water-borne diseases such as dysentery. Having a water source close by also reduces the burden on women and children, who traditionally spend hours collecting water each day.
