We are pleased to team up with Lesley's Life Is Sweet™ and her foundation, Kids Are Sweet International's™ Wishing Well Project. A water well, or water pump, depending on the soil content, is built by the community. We supply the materials and they build the wells or water pumps and maintain everything. This way it creates an ownership and the desire to better their lives.
One water well or one water pump supplies enough water during the drought season, about 7 to 8 months, for 5 families. The water is used for clean drinking water (hygiene and sanitation) and for their kitchen gardens. The kitchen gardens allow the families to grow enough food to feed themselves and to sell at market, which will in turn support the education fund for their children and other expenses that help create prosperity. There is a direct and immediate impact on these people lives, and a long term sustainable impact.
