Our Operation

A social business model for sustainable water access

WET Consulting was started in 2017 as a social business conducting borehole drilling and other water and sanitation-related activities.

The model uses income from commercial projects to subsidize boreholes for rural communities through the organization’s village drilling rig.

Its goal is to generate income through private business while using profits to drill community boreholes and improve access to safe water.

Communities Served

Targeting communities without clean and nearby water sources

WET focuses on communities with no clean water source or communities whose available water sources are far away.

250–350 Estimated households reached per community water source

Clean water improves more than health.

Access to nearby safe water reduces the burden on households, supports dignity, improves hygiene, protects health, and allows families to spend more time on school, livelihoods, and community development.

By linking technical service delivery with JLH’s wider mission, WET contributes to healthier and more resilient communities.
