They drill wells, but also construct sanitation facilities and develop social programs such as Village Savings and Loan Associations, Girl’s Clubs, Health Clubs, Community Hygiene Promoters, and Community Sanitation Initiatives. Utilizing their "boots on the ground" approach, we employ teams of local field officers and hygiene trainers to engage the communities and help address some of the complex issues associated with the developing world’s water and sanitation crisis.

* Metal of Honor is a charity established to build memorials to deceased veterans of military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
