Goals: Short term: To see enough funds raised to be able to build a well and reservoir per month in 2005 To see groups or foundations/companies take on the concept of "adopt a village" (give them a complete system) Have enough equipment for 1 team to operate in 2005 without having to rent or borrow it. Start the "green line in the sand" - help the 15th parallel across Mali go green. Long term: Be able to build 2 or more wells and reservoirs per month every year. See these groups or foundations/companies to return to adopt another village each year. See the 15th parallel turn green as a result of the villages along the parallel with adequate water and stop the advance of the Sahara there. See stronger and healthier people as a result of our work and efforts. MALI, WEST AFRICA -- FOUND IN THE MIDDLE OF WEST AFRICA 500,000 SQ.
