Blood:Water Mission
The purpose of BWM projects is to "empower communities to fight
against..." Rather than providing a hand-out, which inevitably leads
to dependency and failed projects, we seek to transform communities
from the inside out, enabling them to be the agents of change within
their own context. While safe water access, hygiene, and sanitation
are core objectives within our water programs, the process of enabling
these skills and technologies in a community ultimately leads them on a
journey of self-discovery, giving communities a platform for
understanding their own capabilities, assets, and most importantly
self-worth. It's not until communities are able to understand and
embrace their potential, that they are fully able to utilize and
sustain the projects they have worked so hard to achieve.
H2O Project
We train, consult, and equip local people to implement solutions in their own countries. We also lead hundreds of volunteers on mission trips
each year, working with local communities, under the leadership of
nationals, to implement water projects. It's hard to know which lives
are changed more—those "serving" or those "being served." Our training programs
in shallow well drilling, pump repair, and hygiene education have
equipped thousands of volunteers and professionals in the basics of
integrated water solutions since 1997.
