The lack of access to clean water is one of the biggest challenges to overcoming poverty. It’s also one of the most powerful opportunities to create change. With a simple well, or spring box, as many as 500 families gain access to clean, safe water. Communities are healthier. People spend less money on medical expenses and more on food and education. And instead of spending hours each day gathering water for the family, women and children have time for work and school. Talk about a future filled with hope!
