FT5K: Clean Water Projects.
Why Water?
Life.
Water is life. You’ve heard it. We’ve heard it. It’s the truth. It’s the #1 source of nutrition for people, not least because we’re made up more from water than anything else.
A lack of hydration causes physiological issues that ultimately result in death. We figured this made it the best place to start.
Health.
A lack of clean drinking water equals sickness and disease. Cholera, typhoid and hepatitis A are just 3 of the major diseases most commonly linked to contaminated water. All preventable, by providing clean water.
Food.
Clean water = better food. Instead of using contaminated water to farm that promotes more sickness & disease, clean water has the opposite effect.
It helps things grow bigger, quicker, not only benefiting people directly, but fueling enterprise as farmers generate more revenue, faster, improving their lives even more.
Health.
This time, we’re talking external health. Just as contaminated water ingested affects people internally, washing and wearing clothes washed in disease ridden water does the same externally. Skin disease is rampant in developing nations. Contaminated water is why.
Well #1
When we heard the story, we had to get involved. Here’s the very first well we built.
We’ve built a few more since.
