πŸ’§ DigDeep is a human rights nonprofit serving the 2.2 million+ Americans without the sinks, bathtubs, or toilets that the rest of the US takes for granted.


What we covered:

πŸ€ How investing in water offers an insane return on investment of five dollars for one!Β 

😊 How access to water solves a wide array of problems, starting with undervalued ones like type two diabetes 

🌱 How DigDeep came to existence, what it aims to solve and how it intends to have an impact on these million lives 

🚰 How closing the gap doesn't stop at the people that desperately miss WASH services but also involves guaranteeing better tap water quality to 44 million Americans 

🀝 How we will need to think a bit laterally and change our approach to closing the water gap - as traditional approaches have failed for decades 

πŸ’Έ How closing the water gap is before all a wrong pocket problem, what it involves, and how we can tackle thisΒ

🏫 When DigDeep envisions achieving its mission and why seeing them disappear would be awesome news for all the right reasons  

🚱 How solving up to the nitty gritty details will build a better world, one plumbing line at a time 

✈️ The limits of central governments, finding the right catchphrase, getting inspired by the Airline Industry, One Water, Joining the movement, leveraging federal investment... and much more!
