Welcome to H.A.V.E.

Since 1982, Help A Village Effort (H.A.V.E.) has been actively engaging in helping people in the world's poorest countries, primarily through the drilling of wells to bring good water to villages.

Clean water greatly reduces the water-borne diseases from which many people suffer and die. Good water also provides a basic foundation from which other aspects of development can come.

H.A.V.E. is a rural based non-government organization (NGO) responding practically to initiatives taken by indigenous NGOs working with very needy neglected villagers in some of the world's poorest areas. Typically 95% of the donated funds goes directly to the point of need. With the help of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) other interested support groups and individual donations, we have funded (to January 2001) 241 wells and water supply systems.
