Thank you for your incredible support. We're excited to share more about our work in the field!
If you're just tuning in, funds raised through GlobalGiving will support our general water fund, so we can use your gift where it's most needed in the field. While we may not be assigning your donation to a specific project as we do on mycharity: water, rest assured 100% of what we receive will fund water projects in areas of greatest need.
Our partners select water point locations based on geography and assessments of need. They also consider the potential for building strong relationships with local stakeholders, risk of overlap with the work of other organizations and availability of spare parts and repair services. Additionally, a community's willingness to participate is important, since strong programs require buy-in and participation to sustain water points over time.
It can take weeks to transport materials over rough terrain or lay several kilometers of piping. Our teams spend months establishing community buy-in, promoting safe hygiene practices and building water committee capacity to manage projects. The entire process takes about 21 months.
To find out what happens when a community gets clean water for the first time. Watch the next episode of The Journey through the link below.
