May Benevolence: Blood:Water Mission Real change in Africa takes time. That’s why Blood:Water partners with organizations and their communities for at least 3-5 years. While immediate outcomes of wells and clinics are important, the real change comes when the community takes what they’ve learned and replicates the solutions for others. They adopt healthy practices and then infuse their own leadership and creativity toward a movement of social change.
