2022 was another busy year with new, exciting, and most importantly...impactful projects!
We served 76,046 people, and served a whole new beneficiary category.
31 new projects this year can be found in 18 schools, 8 villages, 3 health centers/hospitals, AND we completed 2 projects that impacted a whole new group -
more than 14,000 animals!
Due to severe droughts, animals were dying due to lack of water inside one of the national parks.
We also aided in disaster relief during the tragedy of Cyclone Ada - delivering essentials to over
400 villagers who lost everything during the storm.
In 2022, we drilled 22 new boreholes, repaired 4 hand-pumps, repaired 1 electric pump, and installed 5 solar projects. Once again, so many deserving people (and animals) gained access to clean water...
thanks to YOU.
