Providing safe drinking water to those most in need
Your donation will provide a safe drinking water supply to a rural community and improve health and education impacts to the lives of thousands of people
The Water Crisis
In many rural areas, drinking water from unprotected water sources (sometimes shared with livestock) is a stark reality.
Lack of access to clean water means that hundreds of thousands of people living in rural areas are unable to meet basic needs to improve living conditions.
Because these areas lack safe water, preventable water-borne diseases such as typhoid, cholera, dysentery and diarrhoea are highly reported.
The burden of water collection is typically tasked to women and children, who can travel up to 4 hours every day, many kilometres from where they live.
Every day thousands of students head to schools with no clean water supplies. Without access to water, education is almost impossible.
But access to clean drinking water changes everything.

"We are happy with the water hand pump aided by BridgIT Water. Previously we were going across the rough fields to get water from bore-wells. It was taking half hour to go and return. Now, as the hand pump is installed it is taking just 5 minutes. We can use the time saved for working & earning our livelihoods thus reducing our poverty level.
