We saw women stop walking miles for water.

We saw mothers get their mornings back.

We saw girls stay in school 25% longer.

We saw daughters trade water pails for pencils.

We saw children drink without getting sick.

We saw cholera and dysentery lose their grip.

We saw clinics grow quieter.

We saw gardens grow where dust used to settle.

We saw villages learn to repair their own wells.

We saw villages helping other villages.

We saw wells still pumping twenty years later.

We saw the light come on in people’s eyes.

We saw hope become something you could hold in a cup.

There is still a village at the end of a road no truck can climb.

Children there are still drinking water that makes them sick.
