Happy International Day of Peace! 🌍 😊

Our clean water work is about a lot more than meeting the physical needs of a community.💧 Reliable access to clean water can reduce conflict over resources, leading communities to congregate and flourish around their clean water systems.

When there is clean water, there is peace, stability, and growth.👏

There are three different types of water projects we do…

💧 Deep borehole wells! ✨ In communities with a plentiful source of underground water, we drill a borehole to reach deep aquifers, typically anywhere from 100 to 250 meters.

💧 Rainwater catchment and UV purification systems! In communities where it rains frequently, we can install systems that purify and store rainwater, making it safe to drink. 🌧️

💧 Rehabilitation projects of existing or failed systems! When communities contact us about a failed system abandoned by another organization, we can sometimes replace the malfunctioning or broken equipment. 🤝

Clean water gives kids the chance to be kids!🚰💙

With reliable access to clean water, kids are not responsible for traveling long distances to collect water for their families and can instead attend school, learn, and play! ✨

Our Well Aware mission is driven by our core values and one of those is Community.💫

When we begin any water project, we make sure the voices of the community we are working with come first. We build trust by being transparent through every step of our journey and form these relationships by working hand in hand on a mission to bring lasting clean water. 💧💙

#DYK To date, we continue to maintain a 100% success rate across all 114+ water projects, compared with the industry average of 40%?

Most are built and abandoned, with less than 5% of water projects ever visited again after they’re constructed, and less than 1% monitored long-term. 😮 Oftentimes, the community has not been provided with training or support necessary to maintain their water systems.

That’s why we support our partner communities before and after water projects are implemented, to provide lasting clean water for generations!💧💙

With access to clean water, The Leo Project’s long-awaited Community Health Clinic opened its doors on August 7th, 2023. It will provide accessible, equitable, and sustainable health services and will be a game-changer for the community's health! 👏
