Thank you for your generous gift! This report will introduce you to the community that has benefited from your donation.

Welcome to Northwestern New Mexico, just off of Route 66 near the Continental Divide. Many families call this beautiful place home.

Unlike most families in America, many people here have always struggled to get enough clean water to do basic things like take a bath or cook a meal.

But not any more.

All of that changed when you and DIGDEEP brought them running water for the first time ever.

We've prepared this report to show you your impact. Let's get started!

If you’ve ever had your water shut off for routine maintenance, you know how tough it is to go even a few hours without running water. For an estimated 1.6 million Americans, life without clean running water is a daily reality.

These Americans collect all their water from sources dozens of miles away from their homes, either filling up buckets from wells or purchasing expensive bottled water in grocery stores. In a country where 99.5% of the population has clean running water, this is unacceptable.

That’s why in 2015 DIGDEEP became the only global water organization working on projects here in the US. We began that work with the Navajo Water Project, a multi-million dollar initiative to bring clean, running water to hundreds of families in the Navajo Nation.

The project uses a Human Rights Based Approach (HRBA) that measures the way water access achieves other key goals like health, gender equity, and access to education. Materially, we invest in home water systems, solar solutions, water trucking programs and new clean water sources like wells.

Thank you for your donation to help a family in need. No American should live without clean, running water. Your generosity proves that we're all in this together!

We use 100% of every donation to support to communities in need. The families we serve do their part too, by contributing supplies and labor.

When we work together, we can do amazing things.

This project uses cistern and pump technology, a reliable water storage and delivery solution for remote areas. 

Water is delivered monthly to a 1200 gallon cistern buried two feet underground. By burying the cistern, water is protected from sunlight, contamination and freezing. 

Water is then pumped into the home by a pump, through a particulate water filter and into a sink. The system also use a small inline electric water heater. 

Each home water system is built in collaboration with the benefiting family. The family is responsible for maintaining their system. The Navajo Water Project uses local labor and sources local parts when available. 

This project uses cistern and pump technology, a reliable water storage and delivery solution for remote areas. Because this home doesn't have electricity, we power the pump with a solar panel and battery array.

We also install solar-powered LED lights to light the home at night.

Water is then pumped into the home by a direct current pump, through a particulate water filter, propane water heater and into a sink.

Now that you've seen the incredible impact your gift can have, why not give again?

It costs $14 a month to deliver water to this house. And there are hundreds of families like this one waiting for a water system of their own.

You can sponsor that amount every month, make a new gift to a family in need or even give in someone's name.

We'll use 100% of your gift on another project like this one, and we'll send you another impact report.
