We work with 2 water organizations.  Water to Thrive, which constructs wells and Water 1st, which plumbs water directly into homes.  

​

Water to Thrive works to bring clean, safe water to those who need it in rural Africa. Ten years. One thousand wells.

Working with our in-country partners, we approach each project request as if it were our first, striving to ensure the long-term success and sustainability of every well we build.

Based on years of monitoring and evaluation, Water1st firmly believes that our greatest impact is achieved when we pipe water to every single household. This allows for each family to have a kitchen faucet, a toilet, and a shower.

WATER TO THRIVE

To date we have funded 26 wells in Ethiopia and Uganda and 17 of those are built and operational.

WATER 1ST

This project's funding allowed Water 1st to connect individual households to the community water supply.  Approximately 100 households were connected to serve an estimated 700 people.

WATER TO THRIVE

3/4 of villagers collecting water are women & children.  Well availability allows communities to spend less time collecting water by walking to nearby rivers & more time earning income for their families or attending school.

WATER 1ST

Dima Jeliwan, Ethiopia: This project's funding allowed Water 1st to connect individual households to the community water supply.  Approximately 100 households were connected to serve an estimated 700 people.

WATER TO THRIVE

The lack of clean water too often poses grave health threats to families.  Access to clean water can deeply change lives.

WATER 1ST

Education is a vital role in the water program.  Water 1st's local partner works to increase community members’ awareness of critical hygiene practices, such as frequent handwashing. The primary goal isto save lives through reducing disease transmission.  Here, a group of women who serve on the individual neighborhood organizations volunteer to promote the program & discuss further ideas for sanitation within their community.
