“WATER BROUGHT SO MANY THINGS…”

Sankur Harijan (above) has seen first-hand how his village in Raitole, Nepal has transformed. From tap stands at every home, to hygiene and sanitation education, and now on to tunnel farming, the community is growing quickly.

“We have water and now we are starting to grow vegetables and there is hope that we will be able to sell those vegetables and gain money from it,” Sankur said.

…AND I KNOW IT WILL CONTINUE TO BRING SO MANY THINGS.”

Water brought hope that Sankur hadn’t felt before—hope that the people of Raitole hadn’t felt before—hope that their lives could be permanently changed for the better as a result of having access to clean drinking water.

Water is just the beginning of community transformation. By joining the Tap, you’re sustaining that transformation for years to come in communities like Raitole all around the world.

World Water Day is the perfect time to show that everyone has a place in the Wine To Water community. It isn't about how you get involved, it’s about getting involved, period. 💧 We want to encourage you to join our community by supporting Wine To Water monthly. Judy Nunez (2nd from the left, middle row) taught her first-year seminar course on Doc’s book ‘Wine To Water’ in 2015 and now is a Tap member, supporting clean water monthly! 💧 Join The Tap by clicking the link in our bio! ☺️ 💧 “I believe in the mission of W|W, and am wise enough to know that little is possible without financial support. It means a great deal to be able to contribute to an organization that will use my Tap contribution with respect, dignity, and not sucked up into weighty administrative costs."- Judy
This World Water Day month, over 3,015 water filters will be assembled! But what happens to the filters after the builds? 💧 While we need our community to build filters, we also rely on our community for filter distribution! After Hurricane Harvey devastated southeast Texas in 2017, our incredible W|W Chapter at Texas A&M handed out 200 filters to those affected by the damage. 💧 Not long after the filter distributions were complete, the students hosted their own filter build. The entire community raised $10,000 and built 200 filters, returning the gift W|W had sent their way during the aftermath of the hurricane. It is now the goal of the student organization every year to host a filter build. 💧 Read more about the student’s impact by clicking the link in our bio!
Happy World Water Day! This month alone over 3,015 filters are sponsored and assembled; 21 events, 9 states, 6 countries. Over 30K people are going to receive clean water! This is something to celebrate! 💧 We wanted to highlight a filter build that happened this week! We partnered with Equinix at their President‘s Club where their top performing sales representatives were able to assemble 500 filters and give clean water to thousands of people around the world. 💧 At the event, Equinix awarded an additional $10K as a special surprise gift to W|W. Oh, and a cupcake for Doc Hendley’s 40th birthday! We are so honored and humbled by our partnership with Equinix and look forward to continuing the good work together!
"At Ecolab, we're guided by our vision to provide and protect what is healthy. Clean water, safe food, abundant energy and healthy environments." We couldn't be more proud to partner with this amazing company on World Water Day, March 22. Nine of their international offices are going to assemble a total of 1,700 water filters on Friday! One filter alone brings 10 people clean water for 10 years. Thank you, Ecolab, for your incredible impact!
“My children and grandchildren are the reason why I have a passion to create change—I am here to create a better future for them,” Shrimaya said. 💧 Shrimaya’s passion is rooted in giving future generations the opportunity to live a life that’s not in search of clean drinking water. Now that her fight for water is over, she can channel this passion into other aspects of her life. 💧 She will be able to spend her time creating more opportunities to continue bettering her family’s life through the presence of clean water. 💧 “I can’t believe life can be this easy,” she said. “My daughters-in-law won’t have to go get water now.” 💧 Click this link in our profile to read more about Shrimaya!

“There was always a drive within me—since I was a child—to do something bigger—and this project gave me that opportunity,” Krishna said. 💧 Krishna is an integral part of the generational impact of clean water in her village of Raitole! 💧 She’s the secretary of the Water User Committee, a group composed of community leaders that manage and maintain the water project after its implementation, so the community can take full ownership of their right to clean water. 💧 Click the link in our profile to read more about Krishna! #worldwaterday
