Diseases

There are three priceless moments when we provide clean water.

  • The first moment starts when the people see the drill rig crew hit water! Imagine the cheers when the water flows!
  • The second priceless moment comes when people throughout the village come with their buckets after the pump is installed. Everyone is silent and finally cheers erupt when the water pours out. Seeing the smiling faces of the men, women and children make for a lifetime of unforgettable memories.
  • The third priceless moment takes longer to notice because it happens quietly over time. It is the moment when children are healthy because they have safe water to drink. We do this work for the kids who will grow up not knowing Guinea worm disease!
