Most Americans turn on a tap without a second thought — but in Navajo Nation, one in three families still live without running water.
For generations, households have hauled every gallon they drink, cook with, and bathe in. But a quiet transformation is underway.
Nonprofit DigDeep is bringing clean, reliable, off-the-grid water systems directly to homes: a 1,200-gallon cistern, solar-powered pump, propane heater, and indoor faucet.
Water trucks travel long, rugged miles to keep those cisterns full — and now DigDeep is going even further by installing septic systems so families can finally have safe sanitation and indoor bathrooms.
This isn’t just infrastructure. It’s health. It’s dignity. It’s justice.
And the change is happening one home at a time across Navajo Nation.
