Mission and programs · 2022

Primary exempt purpose

Fundamental Needs works with underprivileged communities to alleviate the suffering caused by inadequate access to electricity, clean drinking water, a heat source, and a proper food source here in the United States. More specifically our Nonprofit organization plans to target all aspects of deficiencies within communities instead of focusing on only one facet of the problem. One day we hope to have built an organization with the infrastructure and resources to be able to affect change across all different walks of life. The organization will not only provide those with immediate needs but also with long-term solutions working toward a sustainable solution.

  • Build and install off-grid water systems on the Navajo Reservation through an after school program. This project identifies households that lack running water and installs water systems that include water tanks, solar-powered water pumps, water heaters, and greywater gardens. Along with this, we are providing vocational training to local high school students at Rock Point Community School. Students are trained on the skills necessary to work with us on installing off-grid water systems for households in their community. Students are exposed to topics including plumbing, electrical/solar, agriculture, and financial literacy before receiving hands-on experience working in the field. After completing the initial curriculum, students have the opportunity to earn money installing off-grid water systems and greywater gardens for Fundamental Needs. So far we have installed 28 systems in families homes and helped 10 students build skills for future employment.
