The Big Picture
Linking Mine Action to Development Planning: Providing Mine Affected Communities Access to Clean Safe Water
Objectives:
Provide families in mine-affected communities access to clean water.
Improve the overall health of the communities and reduce the number of people with water borne diseases by providing domestic hygiene training, well maintenance education and water testing.
Elevate and promote the status of women.
Benefits of Gaining Access to Clean Water:
The time saved in carrying water means that women have more time for being involved in productive activities.
Women are able to send their children to school as a result of not needing children to help with water collection.
Both health and hygiene improves across the community.
Women and children do not need to travel through areas littered with landmines to collect water.
Impact of Your Donation
For USD $1,500 each we build wells that provide clean safe water to mine-affected communities. We use Afridev pumps which are very durable and can stand up to extreme weather conditions. Domestic hygiene training, well maintenance education, and ongoing water testing is included in the cost of the wells.
