In the World Today
- Over 1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water
- 6,000 children die each day due to waterborne diseases
- 60% of youth worldwide do not complete secondary education
Deep Springs International Makes A Lasting Difference
- We are partnering with Haitians to establish the first sustainable water treatment business model in Haiti. This not only provides safe drinking water at an affordable price, but can be replicated from village to village.
- Instead of bypassing local organizations, we develop partnerships with local schools, churches, microfinance institutions, and public health organizations;
- Instead of just giving advice, we are empowering young people with entrepreneurial skills through a business educational program to earn a living by helping their communities.
Our Vision
Our vision is to initiate a novel approach to fighting poverty that integrates sustainable solutions to the problems of lack of safe water, lack of job-relevant education, spiritual poverty, and unemployment. This model will have the ability to be scaled up and implemented around the globe.
Our Mission
Deep Springs International will improve life in developing nations by identifying and encouraging the use of affordable water purification systems, teaching the importance of proper household water treatment practices, and creating new business opportunities for individuals via the teaching of entrepreneurship principles. With local partners, DSI will provide the mentoring, financing, and business relationships needed by new entrepreneurs.
DSI’s mission is driven by the belief that sustainable access to safe water can be achieved through locally owned businesses that provide water treatment products at prices that rural Haitians can afford. We equip local people to create their own solutions by providing business and health education, business coaching, and access to financing.
