Behind every water project is a community with voices, ideas, and dreams. At Well Aware, we don’t just install systems. We listen, we learn, and we build with the people we serve. That’s the heart of sustainable impact, and why our projects last. When local knowledge leads, change sticks.

Nonprofits constitute over 10% of the U.S. workforce and serve as an essential backstop where government and the private sector fall short. With an estimated 20,000 nonprofit staff laid off so far this year alone, we are seeing a devastating loss of talent and capacity at the precise moment our services are most critically needed. To survive this challenging period and build a more resilient future, we must fundamentally redesign our approach. This requires an honest assessment and a courageous commitment to change from four key stakeholder groups: funders, nonprofit leaders, corporations and individuals.

We’re not a surface-level nonprofit. We care deeply about the details that make our clean water systems truly lasting. Thank you for leading the charge in our sustainability focus Kathryn Bergmann, P.E. !
