Description
For twenty years, the Botstiber Foundation has worked with CARE to implement water delivery systems in remote villages in Southeast Asia by connecting water sources to villages and homes. By linking water to villages, poverty and disease is alleviated so that communities can grow and prosper. Earlier this year, Botstiber re-branded its program in Southeast Asia as “VillageHaus” and is now looking to expand the program.
