          Inspirational Story



In a village, there lived a kid who had always said "water is very important". He saved lots of water when he was  using it. Many years later, people started to waste water but the kid didn't. He tried to tell everyone to take care of water but they didn't care.

Then an idea struck him. He showed people responsible ways of saving water like turning the tap off when brushing teeth. Still. the people didn't care.

A month later, on a cold frosty morning, the people of the village woke up and discovered that there was no water! They had nothing to drink, to wash with or even to use when they went to the
toilet. People were very scared and worried so they approached that kid again. The kid explained and reminded them that water was so important that people needed to look after it. Having no water for their daily activities convinced the people on what the kid has always tried to teach them.

The next day some water appeared and as months went by, the volume of water in the village also increased. 

Then everyone shouted "That's why water is so important!". Travelers' passing by the village also heard the commotion and as they approached the village they too were convinced on the importance of water.

Inspirational Story: Water In The Desert Once a man got lost in a desert. The water in his flask had run out two days ago, and he was on his last legs. He knew that if he didn't get some water soon, he would surely die. The man saw a small hut ahead of him. He thought it would be a mirage or maybe a hallucination, but having no other option, he moved toward it. As he got closer, he realized it was quite real.

Finally he gave up from exhaustion and frustration. He threw up his han...

This pilot project not only brings clean, safe water to the community, but also employment. Three teams — each with four to five community members — have received training in manual drilling. Fatouma, Adjara’s mother says: “The water tastes so much better now. You just can’t compare it. Because of the water from the old well, my children would get sick too often … You have given us our health back.
