CLEAN WATER

is the #1 way to reduce childhood deaths in DR Congo

Preventing illness and death starts at the source. Support our partners to develop 33 clean water sources by the end of 2020.

HOW TO GIVE

Congolese medical professionals tell us that clean water = healthy people. Water borne illnesses, dysentery, dehydration, and death are greatly reduced when clean water sources are available. Through the Congo Clinic Initiative, 9 clean water sources have already been established through our partnership with local villages in DR Congo!

  • $10,000 per capped spring

  • Approximately 1,000 people per village

  • Realistically, about 3 villages and 1 clinic will use the water source.
