It all started with wells. Access to clean water can mean the difference between life and death. Local people would hand dig wells or use machines to construct very poorly designed, shallow, and unsustainable versions. These substandard devices would often break down in a matter of months.

​

Our wells are expensive by local standards for the up front cost. We go beyond a simple pipe in the ground to build a platform, drainage, fencing, information plaques, and more. We educate people on how to use, maintain, and care for the well. We follow up regularly. As a result our higher up front cost is offset by the long-term performance.
