The project's objectives
Safe water and good sanitation are now widely recognised as basic human rights. Despite this, many societies still suffer, and their growth and development is severely restricted, due to a lack of access to these most basic of necessities. It has a negative impact on people’s time, livelihood, education and quality of life.
Orphans in Need believes that the project will enable many communities to form the essential foundations for all other forms of development, so vital for poverty reduction. Your donations will enable many of the world’s most needy people to improve health, save time and energy, as well as improve people’s income and education. We also believe the initiative will have a very effective impact on the social and cultural wellbeing of the people in the area, increase their dignity, and act as a catalyst for the communities to carry out further development work themselves, and take the vital steps towards better futures for their children.
Every penny donated, no matter how small the amount, makes a huge difference to the success and viability of this project. As a matter of course, plaques are placed on the pumps, stating that they have been donated by Orphans In Need. Names of donors offering to cover the full cost of £250 for a pump will also be recorded on the plaque, along with their town and country of origin.
