Tackle Thirst

200,000

Each well costs $45,000 to install. Just one can serve up to 7,500 people. That’s $6 per person. Six dollars can send a child to school, restore economic independence, or even save a life.

For an issue with impact this broad, every contribution counts: every dollar, every drop.

Water scarcity limits millions of people in the developing world in ways you might not imagine.


Education

Women are primarily responsible for retrieving water, and often have to bring their children. Reducing the distance to a water source by just 15 minutes results in a 12% increase in girls’ school attendance.


Economy

People living in Sub-Saharan Africa spend more than 40 billion hours per year retrieving water. Water access frees time to generate income.


Agriculture

With dependable access to ample drinking water, families can afford to farm.


Health

Water-related diseases currently cause nearly 1 in 5 deaths of children under 5. It doesn’t have to be this way.

14 million Tanzanians lack access to safe water. Dig deep with us.
