It is possible to bring clean water to hundreds of people in Sub-Saharan Africa.  In many areas women and children have to walk miles each day to fetch clean water, or spend hours gathering wood to boil the dirty water gathered, which is often shared with their livestock.  Vita has developed a structure where people are trained in sinking wells and maintaining the pumping equipment., within their own communitiesEach successful pump in a community can serve up to 250 families.  The community is encouraged to maintain responsibility by contributing a very small sum of money for access and by learning about the management of water.  This initiative has transformed the lives of several communities where a well has been sunk and the community has rallied in order to make its management and administration a success – having access to clean water is a source of great comfort and pride in the community. 100% of all money donated to this cause will fund these water pumps that entire villages in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, rely on for a source of water.
