Improve access to clean water
More than two million Americans live without running water and basic indoor plumbing. For nearly 44 million Americans, their running water is not safe to drink, with many having to drive hours to receive safe water.
Whatever services you provide, ensuring that this staple of life is available for all members of your community lies at the heart of service. Dedicate people, time, and resources to address inadequate water infrastructure and insufficient wastewater treatment management.
To get started:
Identify where in your community it is difficult to obtain in-household running water.
Partner with appropriate stakeholders to design, build, and/or fund the implementation or renovation of systems.
Best Practices / Innovative Programs
DIGDEEP is the only WaSH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) organization serving the United States. They are committed to bringing running water into the homes of all Americans currently living without it.
