Our Mission life is just unfair, we are trying to adjust that imbalance by providing the most basic of human rights: clean water, sanitation and education in remote rural African villages, so children living in poverty do not die needlessly and live to have a real future. We want to reach 100 rural Ghanaian villages by 2016, through collaboration and sustainability.
