Who Needs Water?
“A staggering 1.1 billion people, one-sixth of the world’s population, still do not have clean water”

Four Times a Minute
“A child dies every 15 seconds from water related diseases. This amounts to nearly 6,000 deaths per year, the equivalent of 20 jumbo jets crashing.” as quoted in the Guardian & Mail, Johannesburg So. Africa. April 2, 2004. |
Liquid Learning
“In Tanzania, there was a 12% increase in school attendance when water was 15 minutes away, rather than an hour” Gideon Burrows, London |
The Root of Everything
“Shortage of water doesn’t have the impact of starvation, which is visual and terminal, but this is one of the silent emergencies at the root of everything” Ravi Narayanan, director of WaterAid. |

The women of Bam Got, Tanzania have a problem. The water they drink is hopelessly polluted and has to be processed before it is safe to drink. Nobody wants to have to boil polluted water to drink all the time, so we propose a new clean water well for the Bam Got Women’s Group. This well will provide clean water and safeguard their families’ health by reducing water-borne disease.
The total cost of drilling the well, providing a water pump and plumbing the entire project is $6,450.
