Empowering Communities

with the Gift of Clean Water

One Village at a Time

A Volunteer Community-Based Group, Transforming Lives, One Drop at a Time!

H.A.V.E. believes clean water is a universal right, not a privilege. For over 40 years, we have worked to provide disadvantaged communities, particularly in India, with access to clean water and sanitation. We create lasting change with compassionate donors and strategic local partnerships—one WELL at a time.

Why Water Matters

Access to clean water is more than a health necessity—it is a catalyst for change. By providing safe drinking water, H.A.V.E. empowers communities to break the cycle of poverty, ensuring healthier families, increased school attendance, and improved livelihoods.
