Clean water<br />
projects<br />
In developed countries, we often take clean,<br />
safe drinking water <strong>for</strong> granted. But in<br />
much of <strong>the</strong> world, clean water is virtually<br />
impossible to obtain. People in those areas<br />
are <strong>for</strong>ced to bring dirty, disease ridden water<br />
home to drink and cook with. They constantly<br />
worry if <strong>the</strong>y are making <strong>the</strong>ir children and<br />
families sick with <strong>the</strong> water <strong>the</strong>y draw from<br />
muddy puddles and streams.<br />
<strong>Kids</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Kingdom</strong> takes a unique<br />
approach to helping supply people to clean,<br />
safe water. Each community applying <strong>for</strong> a<br />
water well provides <strong>the</strong> manual labor to help<br />
install <strong>the</strong> well - and houses and feeds <strong>the</strong><br />
drilling team.<br />
After <strong>the</strong> well is in, <strong>the</strong> beneficiaries are<br />
required to set up a board of directors to<br />
oversee <strong>the</strong> water well and collect a small<br />
fee from each user. This empowers <strong>the</strong> local<br />
community to take ownership over <strong>the</strong>ir water<br />
well and provides a small fund to maintain<br />
and repair <strong>the</strong> well as necessary.
