Workers Drill Wells and Build Community Toilets
Empowering local people makes Lifewater projects sustainable because it helps:
- Keep the cost of wells and toilets down since there is no need to pay the high cost of supporting expatriate workers overseas
- Give a powerful sense of ownership and pride to local workers
- Create local employment in countries where jobs are desperately needed
Local Lifewater workers are responsible for all in-country operations including:
- Business planning, office administration and project management
- Water quality testing and community need assessments
- Health and Hygiene workshops
- Drilling wells and installing hand pumps
- Building community toilets and hand-washing stations
- Long-term project follow-up
