We Provide Safe Water for Indigenous Schools
We all need clean, safe drinking water.
Especially indigenous children who often have
to drink from polluted puddles.
Unicef reports that bad water is the # 1 killer of children
in developing countries.
But It’s a “killer-problem” with a simple solution.
Just catch and share the same rainfall that creates
the polluted puddles thirsty kids drink from.
We install rain catchment tanks for indigenous schools
in remote parts of Central America.
School principals report sickness rates plummet
after they get safe water.
Our tanks are simple, low-tech, last for years — and
refill with safe, disease-free water every time it rains.
We’re Operation Safe Drinking Water, a 501 (c) (3) charity.
We’re all unpaid volunteers.
No one receives a salary or compensation.
We live among the people we serve.
And we’re donors ourselves, because we see what happens
to children without safe water.

NEWS— Major seniors magazine salutes Joe Bass for
bringing safe water to thousands in Central America.
NEWS— Joe and Maribel Bass — founders of OSDW–
are chosen as “people who are making a difference
in the world today” by a major international publication.
We all want to make a difference and change lives for the better – our own, our family’s and others who have even less.
Here are two photo stories of making a difference.
One is small, but important to the little girl who was too embarrassed to go to school in dirty clothes instead of a school uniform.
Anita shows off her best dress. She quit going to school because she was embarrassed.
Maribel gave her a school uniform which transformed not only her appearance, but her life. She returned to school happy and cheerful. Yes, this was a small thing, but it made a world of difference for Anita.
