Over 20 years ago, we began with a school project in rural Cambodia. But as we dug deeper, we uncovered a heartbreaking truth: without clean water, everything else falls apart.
Health. Food Security. Education. Economic opportunity. Dignity. All vanish when a community lacks safe water. We saw children too sick to attend school. Parents forced to walk miles every day just to collect dirty water. Families trapped in poverty—not because they aren’t willing to work, but because they lack the most basic building block of life. And we realized: We can’t look away.
Your donation will help:
💧 Provide clean, safe drinking water through wells and bio-sand filters—ending the daily struggle for survival.
🏥 Improve health by reducing waterborne diseases that keep children sick and out of school.
🍚 Strengthen food security by enabling families to grow crops year-round with accessible water.
📚 Support education by keeping children healthy and in school instead of walking miles for water.
💼 Fuel economic opportunity by freeing up time and energy for parents to work and provide.
💙 Restore dignity and hope to families who just need the most basic building block of life.
