Water for Life — Dig a Borehole
Water for Life — Dig a Borehole

When water is scarce, children suffer first.

In many rural, remote, and drought-affected communities, clean and reliable water is still out of reach. Time spent searching for water can mean time away from school.

How We Do It

Drilling boreholes where the need is greatest

  • 1Identify schools and communities facing serious water shortages.
  • 2Assess their water needs and identify suitable borehole sites.
  • 3Drill boreholes to provide reliable sources of groundwater.
  • 4Equip and develop water systems for drinking, cooking, sanitation, farming, and daily use.
  • 5Work with communities to manage and sustain the water source for years to come.
How Water Serves the Community

One borehole. A community transformed.

Water for Schools

A reliable water source helps schools provide drinking water, cooking, handwashing, sanitation, and hygiene.

Water for Families

Families gain closer access to clean water, reducing the long journeys children and parents often make to collect water.

Water for Farming

Water makes it possible to support small-scale farming, kitchen gardens, food production, and livestock.

Water for Nutrition

Water supports the production of vegetables, fruits, and nutritious foods that strengthen school feeding programs.

Water for Life

A borehole can become a source of health, food, education, dignity, and economic opportunity for an entire community.
