Our Mission

Help small, rural communities develop and maintain access to safe, year-round drinking water.
Preserve and protect watersheds that provide water to these communities.
Provide training and education to local people in maintaining drinking water systems, improving hygiene and protecting watersheds so they will have autonomy with respect to water needs.
Partner with other organizations to carry out this mission.
