Hi J.Mill
projects are underway in Ethiopia and Nepal.
Earlier this year, you fundraised to help bring clean and safe water to
people in need. We'd like to update you on the following:

Your project timeline. 

Building water and sanitation projects is a time-consuming business. We allow 18 months because we don't consider a project complete until we know that all of its components are in place and working for the best of the community. Here's a timeline of what happens during the 18 months.

Map highlighting Ethiopia and Nepal
 
Of the nearly 31 million people living in Nepal, 11% lack access to clean drinking water and 69% lack access to sanitation. Thanks to you, our local partner, Nepal Water for Health (NEWAH), is busy helping communities build 40 large-scale gravity fed water systems and 62 rehabilitated hand-dug wells in the Sinduhili and Chitwan districts. 

More than 86 million people live in Ethiopia, and 56% lack access to clean drinking water. Our local partner, A Glimmer of Hope (AGOH), is busy helping communities build 60 new and rehabilitated hand-dug wells, 79 new and rehabilitated drilled wells, and 11 new and rehabilitated spring protections.
 
Which country got your funds?
 
Since construction in developing countries means dealing with many variables -- supply price fluctuation, altered plans due to wells that come up dry and other unpredictable challenges -- we don't assign your dollars to a specific project right away. This allows us to remain flexible and efficient during the implementation process, so we can use your funds where they're really needed.
 
Rest assured, 100% of the money you raised will help fund water project costs in the field.
 
As soon as the work is complete our partners will send us a report with details on each project, including GPS coordinates, photos and the final costs. Our team will verify all of this data, and then we'll assign the money you raised to actual project costs so you can see the real impact you made.

Stay tuned!
 
We can't wait to report back and show you the impact your fundraising campaign made for those in need. Thanks so much for your patience and support. If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to email us here
