NGO Overview, Mission, and Purpose: What We Are About and Who We Help"
We are a unique NGO who works with the communities of sub-Saharan Africa, to educate and provide them with a sustainable source of water that pertains to //their// needs. We change lives, one village at a time, including the direct involvement of the community, government, and those affected to create solutions that fit their needs and the proper sanitation and knowledge to lead to a less-thirsty Africa. Our aim is to unlock human potential by providing access to these simple needs and preventing

NGO "Bottom Line": How We Make an Impact
To make a lasting impact with our water projects we get involved with the communities. We prefer to work with communities where the people know what they want. Once we know who we are going to work with we take the time to educate the community about sanitation and hygiene through learning sessions. A hydro-geologist surveys the location and marks specific areas that will yield the most water. We get in contact with the government, getting a permit and notifying everyone in the community to be on the same page. Then we build the well but that's only the beginning. After the well has been installed we do follow up community education workshops and teach the community how to use and maintain the well. Even after we hand the well over to the community, we continue to monitor and evaluate how well the well is working by either visiting or via questionnaires. Going back to check up on these communities and their new wells helps us make improvements to our future projects.
