Our Vision
The premiere non-governmental organization dedicated to transforming landmine-affected communities through empowering women, raising social consciousness and engaging civil society
Our Mission
To serve and inspire hope for landmine-affected individuals and their communities by raising global awareness and providing access to clean safe water
Our Goals
- Provide families in mine-affected communities access to clean water
- Improve the overall health of the communities
- Elevate, empower and promote the status of women
Benefits of Gaining Access to Clean Water
- Women and children do not need to travel through areas littered with landmines to collect water.
- The time saved in carrying water means that women have more time for being involved in productive activities.
- Women are able to send their children to school as a result of not needing children to help with water collection.
- Health and hygiene improves across the community.
- The wastewater from the wells is used for home gardening.
- Common diseases such as diarrhea are less likely to occur.
