SVL on mission to bring clean, safe drinking water to people in developing countries. Clean water means Health, income and education-especially for women and kids. We work with Governments and strong local partners on the ground to build and maintain water projects.
Access to clean water promotes hand washing. Washing your hands is the best way to prevent water related diseases.
80% of diseases in the world are waterborne and preventable with clean water and adequate sanitation.
Millions of kids spend their days collecting water for their families or home sick with a water-related illness instead of going to school.
Women are twice as likely to walk for water. Water projects nearby can save time, and give women freedom and opportunity.
Self-sufficient families can use water sources nearby to cook safely, clean their eating utensils and water their own gardens.
Every $1 invested in improved water access and sanitation yields $12 in economic returns, depending on the project.
