Mission

Empowering communities to protect their health and environment through the sustainable use of water resources.


Overview

The Living Earth Institute (LEI) is a Seattle-based non-profit 501(3)(c) organization founded in 1999 to aid international communities in developing sustainable water resources. Our primary focus is the development of water supply and sanitation projects; however, through experience, we know that in order to make these projects sustainable, we must take a holistic approach. This means that we work with the community to implement income generation training, micro-lending programs, literacy classes, hygiene education, and other programs to meet community-defined needs.

All Contributions Welcome

The Living Earth Institute is a Seattle-based small non-profit organization dedicated to empowering communities to protect their health and environment through the sustainable use of water resources.  We will be asking your support to continue work in the Rampurwa village of Nepal and to begin work for a school/orphanage in the remote areas of Chengdu, China (Tibet).

Together we can bridge the gap between Seattle and these communities and make tremendous positive change by just reaching out and giving a little.
