307 people now have access to clean, running water right on their property. The community dreamed of a piped distribution system to bring water directly to homes rather than a central pump location. When the original well failed, Simply Water and our partners at Sunset drilled a new 300-foot well, installed a submersible pump, and built a raised storage tank. Gravity now pushes clean water through PVC pipes to each household. Families helped dig their own trench connections, and a local water committee now manages the system to ensure long-term access.

20 families now have clean water flowing directly to their homes — a first for this remote village. Residents of Comunidad Maranonal lacked direct access to both clean water and electricity, walking several kilometers just to haul water from the nearest well. We partnered with Sunset to install an electric pump, generator, storage tank, and elevated tower. The generator powers the pump to fill the tank, allowing gravity to push clean water through pipes to each family's property. What once felt impossible is now a daily reality for 20 families.

After waiting over 8 years, the 2,100 residents of La Trinchera finally have clean water flowing again. Their partially completed well sat unused for nearly a decade. We partnered with Sunset to refurbish the system and install a submersible pump — restoring life to the well and hope to the community. What had long been a symbol of disappointment is now a steady, daily source of clean water.

In a village where no homes had running water, one hand-pump well changed everything for 103 students. The new well became the school's first clean water source — and the only one in the entire community. For these children, it meant more than just hydration. It meant fewer illnesses, better focus in class, and the dignity of washing their hands at school. In a place where water was once scarce, this well now gives them a safer, more hopeful place to learn and grow.

Two failing wells were brought back to life — restoring clean water access to a community in need. When the wells at La Iglesia Rosa began to fail, the community lost access to clean water, and hope began to fade. In 2024, Simply People heroes partnered with Sunset to restore both wells. The team cleaned and repaired the drilled wells, installed new storage tanks, and added a hydro-pneumatic system to stabilize pressure and protect the pumps from wear. With clean water flowing again, the Red Church returned to being a source of life and strength for its surrounding community.

In 2024, a new well brought clean, year-round water access to over 1,400 people. The Anglican Church in Kaiama, Nigeria reached out for help because over 1,400 residents in the area lacked access to clean drinking water. For the 400 residents of Tiv Camp and surrounding villages, life without clean water was marked by hardship. During the rainy season, they collected rainwater, but for the remaining eight months of the year, they endured severe water shortages. Villagers were forced to travel miles by motorcycle or bicycle — either to the river in Lokomoshe, where they filled jerry cans, or to neighboring villages to buy water at a cost many could barely afford. The lack of clean water led to a cholera outbreak, leaving the communities desperate for relief. On the day the borehole well was dedicated, leaders from three neighboring villages joined the celebration, sharing the joy and relief the well brought to the entire community. For the first time ever, residents of Tiv Camp and the surrounding areas have access to clean, drinkable water year-round.

A new filtration system is now providing safe drinking water to 1,344 women and children inside Cambodia's women's prison. Correctional Centre 2 is home to pregnant mothers, elderly women, and children living with their moms. For years, prisoners relied on untreated pipe water that caused illness and worsened already harsh living conditions. Clean drinking water was identified as the prison's most urgent need. We partnered with Bethel Mission Organization to install a clean water filtration system and connect it directly to the prison housing buildings — allowing women to safely turn on a tap and drink without fear of contamination. The prison has committed to maintaining the system, ensuring ongoing care for every woman and child inside.
