Last month, we hit an exciting milestone when we funded our 775th village water project. We've come a long way since we funded our first well in 2008, and while we are incredibly proud of each of the hand pump wells we drilled, we are equally proud of the ways in which we've evolved. Solar-powered, mechanized wells with multiple tap stands have replaced hand pump wells, delivering safe water with the turn of a tap—no arduous pumping required. In 2019, we also began funding solar-powered water systems for rural health clinics — we're currently in the process of funding the fifth one.
Thank you for your support of our work —we can't wait to see what the next 15 years bring as we work to bring safe water to everyone in Niger.
