$25 saves a life
Worldwide on average it only costs $25 to bring safe water to someone for life. That's it and the problem is solved—forever.
Included in those costs are community organizing, hygiene education, geo surveys, project costs with money left over for ongoing maintenance.
Why not help an entire family? In many of regions we work the average family size is four persons. Do you have a family of your own? What would it be like to live without access to safe water—or spending hours each day collecting it for your family? $100 allows us to help an entire family for life.
