Water and Energy Consulting provides missions to areas that lack clean drinking water and/or electricity. Our goal is to provide the indigenous people with the materials, equipment, and instructions so they can provide these services themselves. Hand well drilling equipment and hand pumps are supplied, as well as instructions and demonstration on how to drill and develop a well, as well as sanitation and well support and maintenance information.    For the energy missions small hydroelectric generators are supplied, as well as installation demonstrations and instructions on maintenance and troubleshooting, as well as training on electricity and wiring installation.
