Twitter founder gave $1M to DigDeep in 2020; Navajo programme delivered 1,450 tanks

When the Covid-19 pandemic hit in 2020, staying home and washing hands became basic advice. But for thousands of families on the Navajo Nation, that was not always easy because their homes did not have running water. As the access to clean water became more urgent than ever, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey gave $1 million to DigDeep, a nonprofit working to bring running water to homes across the US. That year, DigDeep's Navajo Water Project delivered 1,450 water storage tanks to homes on the Navajo Nation and kept them filled during the pandemic. The programme also delivered 250,000 gallons of emergency bottled water as infection rates rose and many families faced challenges accessing safe water.How DigDeep helped Navajo families during Covid-19The Navajo Water Project had planned to serve fewer families in 2020, but the pandemic forced DigDeep to expand its response.
