Water

The most important aspect of a Lift Kids village is the availability and use of good, clean water. Without this, a village can never become self-sustaining.  There are approximately 1.1 billion people in the world that do not have access to safe water.   Water covers about 75% of the earth, yet only 2% is suitable for drinking as 98% is saltwater. 

Fresh, potable water is a scarce and indispensable resource required for sustaining humans, livestock and agriculture.  Developing countries can benefit by exploring sustainable water technologies such as rainwater harvesting, gravity flow, boreholes, wells, filtration techniques and solar powered pumps.  Water is an essential component to sustaining a village and is one of Lift Kid's main focuses.
