New Water Rehabilitation Projects

The water wells in these communities are in need of some important repair work, some have not been working for years and some are on the brink of complete failure.  At earning less than a dollar a day the residents of these villages simply don’t have the means nor expertise to fix this life saving resource infrastructure.  With just a bit of assistance from you we can help.

Although you may see a completed sign on a project (WooHoo!!!!) please know for every one we complete, there is another to take its place.  We will try to keep the page current but sometimes we are waiting on the pictures of the communities.
