Lend A Hand
One handpump
WaterAid America
Problem
Safe water is essential for life, but over a billion people in the world do not have it. This and the lack of sanitation result in over two million people dying from water-related diseases every year. The lack of clean water close to people's homes also adversely affects people's time, livelihoods and quality of life.
The Gift
For families in developing countries, drawing water up through the gift of a new handpump protects the water so it is clean and safe to drink and cook with.
