Global Hand Washing Day 2014
Each year on October 15, over 200 million people are involved in Hand Washing Day celebration around the world. The purpose of this day is to increase awareness and understanding about the importance of hand washing with soap as an effective and affordable way to prevent diseases.
Hand Pump Repair Training

Clean Water
JDA creates partnerships with organizations who do not have their own people on the ground, but want to build schools or drill wells. Our staff provide the local knowledge, resources and skills, and the partner the funds.
