Sometimes people let go of the good things too soon, like water slipping away drop by drop into a bucket.
Along the way, we journey on a bumpy or somewhat muddy ride towards the development of water infrastructure that is hindering progress in rural settings.
However, we see an opportunity to purify the mindset of those intending to vandalize the precious infrastructure — empowering them to become masters of their own destiny.
It’s a risk worth investing in and an opportunity to drive visible and intangible change even in places where it seems to be an impossible dream.
These communities deserve to understand the importance of safeguarding facilities that benefit their families.
This year, through community town hall meetings, we have engaged our stakeholders, sharing the scope of our work and highlighting their essential role in protecting these resources.
Together, we can ensure that this infrastructure benefits generations to come.
WHEN LEADERS ARE BUILT
In real time, our dedicated team members are challenging themselves to bring innovative solutions to the forefront, despite working in a difficult environment where development is often undervalued.
We stay closely connected with community Chairpersons and key stakeholders, but challenges arise when essential parts of our work are damaged or taken by those who may not fully see the impact that reliable water access can have on their lives.
A lack of inspiration toward practical, skills-based education can lead to a community that grows increasingly resistant to change.
This brings us to a critical choice: do we persist in providing this vital service, or turn away, denying thousands their basic human rights?
Through regular site visits, we monitor community engagement and gather feedback to continually improve our service delivery. Our strong rapport with the community ensures that our efforts extend beyond these visits.
Our goal is to accelerate the Water Does Matter Ambassador Program by building impactful partnerships.
We envision a society where communities are resilient and hold a sense of responsibility towards themselves and mankind.
They too, have a chance to explore ways that can alleviate dependency on the service provider which serves as an example towards noble causes.
We also highlight how essential clean and safe drinking water is for fostering an ideal learning environment in schools.
We stand ready to counter any potential threats seeking to deny humanity access to this vital resource meant for everyone.
