What is Water Safari?

Water Safari is Vox’s mobile well-restoration initiative. Expeditions are mapped out and humanitarian workers travel into Africa’s bush to restore non-functioning wells.

In 2010 your contributions helped provide a fully equipped Landcruiser 4x4 repair vehicle and custom trailer that is being used to transport strategic teams to remote locations. The first Water Safari expedition that took place in September 2010 restored wells in Northern Mozambique for 40,000+ people. When you donate to the Water Safari project, monies are used to provide operation costs associated with Water Safari Expeditions, ie: maintenance, insurance, fuel costs, etc.

Why water

  • Water born illnesses are the 2nd leading cause of death.
  • Of the 42,000 people who die each week from unsafe water, 90% are children.
  • Every 15 seconds a child dies from a water-related disease.
  • At any given moment, half of the world’s hospital beds are occupied by people who are suffering from water-related illnesses.
  • More than 80 percent of the world’s diseases can be attributed to unsafe water sources, sanitation and hygiene.

How Water Together works

Water Together is a Vox United campaign created specifically to address the water crisis through Well Drilling, Well Restoration and Water Purification. Where water is contaminated, we introduce water filtration. Where water is scarce, we endeavor to drill fresh-water wells. Where wells are non-functioning, we work to repair and reinstall.

All water projects are executed in conjunction with exemplary organizations & accompanied by certified health & sanitation education. For more information, email us at water@voxunited.org or go to www.voxunited.org
