What we aim to solve
Access to clean drinking water in rural India is a common problem faced by hundreds of thousands of households as piped water just isn't available to so many and as such reliance on piped water schemes such as public taps or bore wells is necessary. The challenge then becomes for these communities that rely on these public water supplies, what to do when there is no water or the existing water is not suitable for drinking? This is what we are seeking to resolve, one community at a time through the work of our indigenous partners.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Water projects for rural villages and communities
Drilling of bore wells in various Indian states including but not limited to Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Orissa and Tamil Nadu. Utilizing the experience and expertise of local partners to carry out our mission of providing clean, safe drinking water. Also involved in providing assistance for those working with orphan care, HIV/Aids, Leprosy, the sick and disenfranchised within rural India.
Outreach
Within this program we seek to touch any other areas of need besides water, whether it be medical care, assistance to those affected by HIV/Aids, Leprosy, income generating or skills training, education, orphan care, etc.

The increase in 2017 numbers is attributed to the one time investment in opening a medical office in a village which has no medical facility, thus 5000 people now have access to medical care.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
To continue to make a difference in rural India through our indigenous partnerships. Growth and success will be measured by our partners and their impact in the poor and needy regions of rural India. Lives touched, impact made and uplift evidenced will also help us gauge our effectiveness.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Continue to raise funds and awareness and impart that knowledge with our indigenous partners. Shared knowledge and resources works, any way we can encourage, strengthen and empower the indigenous person on a grass roots level to effect change is going to be our mode of operation.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our capabilities are tied to our resources. We have the partnerships, we have the volunteers, we have the burden and desire to come along side the indigenous person/organization in order to hear and respond accordingly. The West is not the answer for the majority world. They possess skills, talent, resources; our job is to help them identify these and provide assistance when necessary.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Our progress isn't measured by goals and objectives set each year; our progress is based solely on stewardship. Look at what we have done and have been entrusted with, look at our partners and their effectiveness and then look at the lives we have touched and you'll see our progress. You can only make a difference with what you have been entrusted with, think talents, we don't bury ours, we use them!
