The families the implementing partner, DigDeep, serves are some of the most vulnerable to coronavirus in America. They struggle to wash their hands and bodies. They are forced to break social distancing to haul water. They live far from healthcare facilities. COVID-19 has upended the lives of all Americans, and that includes our friends and family across the Navajo Nation.
DigDeep developed a “suitcase system” as a pandemic-related innovation... used as a means to get the majority of a Home Water System installed at people's homes so they had a faucet just outside when their staff couldn't safely work inside the home for health and safety reasons. DigDeep has now resumed its full Home Water System installations and is converting all of the "suitcase systems" into full Home Water Systems (piping the water indoors for household plumbing)!
