$65—private, sanitary toilet for one family

Using a safe, clean toilet is something we take for granted. But for more than 700 million people in India, not having a toilet is a major killer.

Every day, worldwide, 5,000 children die from unsafe water and inadequate sanitation.

 

$110—hand-pump maintenance toolkit for village water committee

Women benefit the most from these projects, so they are the most motivated to keep water systems functioning. Our projects place women in key roles, particularly on the water committee.

We use simple technologies with locally available spare parts. With routine maintenance, these projects last a lifetime.

 

$2,000—hand-drilling a deep water point and pump installation

For our India projects, drilling down 1,000 feet allows the community to gain access to water that is free of biological contaminants —and is also refreshingly cool compared to the warm surface water, making it highly desirable for drinking and bathing in this hot environment.

A $25 donation provides safe water, sanitation, and hygiene education for one child in India for life.

A $6,500 donation provides safe water, sanitation, and hygiene education for an entire village in India for life.

Safe water saves lives. Thank you for your generous donation.
