"Of all the emerging world issues, fresh water supply is at the top of the ever-expanding list. Who can survive without water? No one… it is as essential as oxygen." -Breann

With her belief in the urgency of the world’s water crisis, Breann applied for a Foundation grant to put her passion and skills as a hydrologist to work in Africa. Breann helped the people of Kenya and Uganda drill for fresh water — a resource which is hard to find in rural Africa and even more difficult to collect. Upon completion of the trip, Breann’s team had drilled two wells, bringing welcome fresh water to the villagers.

"Working with people and being immersed in their culture is the best way to learn how to help them effectively on a long-term basis. Going to Kenya and Uganda was life changing. I want to thank the Foundation for their wonderful support in this project. They made this trip possible for me, and helped make fresh water in Africa a reality." - Breann
