What we do
Clean Water
Wells, pumps, water-quality testing, and a 10-year maintenance commitment in every village we partner with.
About this program→Sanitation
Latrines, handwashing stations, hygiene education for schools and households. Halves under-5 mortality where deployed.
About this program→Economic Resilience
Microloans, training, and women-led savings cooperatives. Average household income lifts 64% within three years.
About this program→$48 brings clean water to one person for life.
Every well we drill is monitored and maintained for 10 years — not handed off to local governments and forgotten. 89¢ of every dollar goes straight to programs.

Why we’re different
89¢ to programs
Of every dollar donated. Audited annually; full breakdown in the Annual Report. We publish our overhead too — so you can compare.
10-year maintenance commitment
Most NGOs install wells and leave. We don’t. Every well we drill is part of a 10-year monitoring + repair contract with the local cooperative.
Community-led, always
We don’t parachute in. Every program is co-designed with local partners; final decision authority lives with community elders.
Radical transparency
Donor-level reporting on every program. Field photos. Names. Numbers. Where the money went and what it bought, line by line.
Independently audited
Annual external audit by KPMG; charity-rating audit by Charity Navigator (4★) and GiveWell (Top Charity 2024).
Recurring + one-off
Monthly giving funds 71% of our work. Built for sustained programs — not stop-start campaigns.
