How it works
Project developer funds the necessary tools and infrastructure to maintain the existing boreholes
Maintenance of the boreholes provides neccesary clean water for community members, eliminating the need to walk far distances to source fresh water, or the need to burn fuel or wood to boil water
- This reduces the strain of responsibilities for women and improves sanitary conditions, reducing any health strains on the community
