Water Well Trust Gets $1M USDA Grant for Well Projects
Group Can Now Help Families without Water Nationwide
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Household Water Well Systems (HWWS) program has awarded the Water Well Trust a grant of $1 million for projects to increase potable water availability to rural households throughout the U.S.
“This new grant will provide fantastic new resources for meeting the needs of Americans without access to clean, safe water,” says Margaret Martens, the trust’s program director. “The trust has a long waiting list of families who have been hanging on for years, hoping for this kind of help. For them, every day without water is a struggle. This grant will help us fulfill the promise of a better life for these American families much more quickly.”
