Water sustains life - do you want to give fresh water to those in need? Dedicated volunteers and personnel are working to provide wells and a fresh, safe supply of water to people in areas around the world who lack this necessity.
Many of the problems facing people living in the poverty trap are linked to water. Many do not have safe water to drink. Adults and children die as a result of a lack of clean water. Some die from thirst and hunger. Others die from diseases linked to poor sanitation, poor hygiene and contaminated water.

The Fields of Life invited a team to Uganda to witness the need in East Africa for fresh and pure drinking water, easily accessible to local villages. The volunteers have done much to assist people in the area
