Clean Water

Clean-water projects.

Clean-water projects are designed with The Global Orphan Project and Life Giving Force in communities where the partner organizations already have established field operations.

The intent is simple: infrastructure that keeps working. That means proper hydrogeology, appropriate technology for the water source, trained local operators, and a community committee that owns the day-to-day.

Infrastructure that keeps working.

The intent is simple: clean-water infrastructure that keeps working. That means proper hydrogeology, appropriate technology for the water source, trained local operators, and a community committee that owns the day-to-day.

Projects are designed and installed with The Global Orphan Project and Life Giving Force in communities where the partner organizations already have established field operations.

Health

Disease reduction

Reliable clean water reduces the disease burden associated with unsafe water, including diarrheal and parasitic illnesses.

Time

Hours returned

When water is local and reliable, the people who typically gather water recover time each day for school, work, and family.

Education

School attendance

Healthier children attend school more consistently, and time-saving reduces the school-day trade-offs households have to make.

Stability

Household resilience

Water access supports broader household stability including agriculture, sanitation, and income.

Design

Long-term infrastructure

Projects are designed to function for years after installation, with maintenance handled by local technicians and community committees.

Operation

Local ownership

Long-term operation and maintenance are handled by local teams who live in the community.

  1. 01

    Community assessment

    Partner organizations identify communities with the greatest unmet need based on existing field operations.

  2. 02

    Hydrogeology and design

    Local water table, geology, and seasonal flow determine whether the right answer is a drilled well, a spring capture, surface-water filtration, or a hybrid.

  3. 03

    Build

    Wells are cased and sealed; filtration units are installed at scale appropriate for the household or village; storage is sized for daily demand plus reserve.

  4. 04

    Training

    Local operators are trained in routine maintenance, basic repair, and water-quality monitoring.

  5. 05

    Long-term ownership

    A community committee takes ownership of the asset and runs day-to-day operation, with the partner organization in a supporting role.

  6. 06

    Monitoring

    Partner organizations track uptime, throughput, and household water-quality outcomes year over year.

Wells

Properly cased wells where geology supports them.

Filtration

Filtration and storage where surface water is the available source.

Sanitation

Sanitation systems designed alongside the water systems.

Operation

Trained local technicians handle ongoing operation.

Water infrastructure build

How the process runs.

Community assessment first, then hydrogeology, then a build sized to daily demand with reserve. Local operators are trained on maintenance, basic repair, and water-quality monitoring.

A community committee takes long-term ownership. Partner organizations track uptime and outcomes year over year.
