This is an Engineers Without Borders project run by the northern New Jersey Chapter. We are going to drill a water well and install a hand pump so the villagers have access to clean water.

Marinna's Why
Starting with "Why. " Why am I here? Women and water are very closely tied here. The closer, more accessible and safer the water, the more opportunities the women an girls will have. Girls can go to school because they are note too busy collecting water. Women can start a side business because they have more time. Safe water is so important. It is one of the major concerns throughout the world according to the world health organization. Being able to help provide cleaner, more accessible water to this community is a great feeling. Seeing the women and their reactions to the installation of the well and their gratitude is amazing.
