Target demographics: Primarily women, girls and young children living in rural villages in the poorest country in the world
Direct beneficiaries per year: Over 50,000 people
Geographic areas served: Niger, West Africa
Programs: We drill wells to provide safe water to rural villages. We provide sanitation and hygiene training in every village where we drill. In addition, and as part of every well drilling project, we educate women how to start their own small business. We continue to work with every village for a minimum of 15 years.
