  • 672,529 hours were saved EACH DAY by children and adults (90.1 minutes saved each day per household) no longer needing to walk long distances for water
  • 3,698,106 additional HOURS EACH MONTH that children (usually girls) were in school rather than fetching water
  • 462,263 additional DAYS EACH MONTH that children (usually girls) were in school rather than fetching water 
  • $10,607,812 in total monthly economic impact from families no longer needing to buy water (estimated average water purchases per household multiplied by total households)
  • a $5.00 economic return for each $1.00 invested by a donor (value of hours saved from walking to fetch water that can be applied to earning income, of hours saved that can be applied to attending school, of household savings from no longer buying water, etc.)
