How Can a Community Water Well Change Lives?

Every year, 3.5 million people die of water-related diseases, the majority being children. A Community Water Well can be a lifeline for people in need, especially those living in regions plagued by water scarcity. The well is 1.5 meters wide, drawing water from 10 meters under the ground. It provides clean water to over 1000 people, including families, livestock, and crops, resulting in thriving happy communities.

Watch the video to see the impact of this community water well on an impoverished community in Mali.
