Why I work with MMM:

I work with MMM because I want to help my people to access safe and clean water, especially rural people wor are living in vulnerable environment in health arena.  So is my desire to help my people with love and with whole heart.

 

 
Community Involvement & Personal Achievements:

The community I work with is fully involved as it knows the importance of safe and clean water.  The community is trying its level best to ensure the MMM vision is achieved and their problems concerning water are solved.  I, as a F.O., have been achieving very much because I work with the people of my own culture.
What is the impact of the Shallow Well Program?

The program has very great impact in the community, because with the program, the number of people who are suffering from water borne diseases is decreasing, so if the program will continue the people's health problem will be minimized and community will be more secured.
Why is the Shallow Well Program successful?
  • The shallow well program is successful because people who had no access to safe water now have access to it.
  • Also the number of people who have been suffering from water borne diseases is decreasing as time goes on.
  • All success of MMM has been reached because of good cooperation between MMM and community.

What is the Future of the Shallow Well Program and why is your support so important?

The future of the program is well determinable and the program will be achieving its goals year to year and it will keep on supporting people to access safe and clean water.   In relation to this number of dying people from water borne disease will be decreasing year to year.
Future needs include:
