Africa 6000 International brings life-saving clean water to communities in Africa by building sustainable, solar-powered water wells. Using their trained teams and drilling rigs, the organization constructs long-term water sources that transform communities. The wells provide clean water and help pave the way for medical clinics, schools and irrigated farms. The villagers are then trained to take over maintenance of the wells.

"When Africa 6000 International was founded nearly 20 years ago, 6,000 children were dying every day from waterborne diseases. Today, thanks in part to the organization's efforts, that number is now about 3,000," said Doug Pitt, Africa 6000 team member and Goodwill Ambassador to Tanzania. "Thanks to individuals and corporate donors, Africa 6000 is providing clean water to the very thirstiest people in the world, reducing the number of deaths due to water borne diseases and easing the everyday challenges by creating lasting, life-changing solutions."
