Over 10,000 pounds of water transported to Ganado, AZ (Steamboat and Ganado Chapters)
Background:
Navajo Nation is the largest tribal nation in the United States. Located in Northern Arizona, Southern Utah, and Western New Mexico, many of the communities and families continue to face challenges accessing safe and reliable water due to uranium, arsenic, and lead contamination¹ as well as severe drought². This project aimed to support local families while also encouraging meaningful service and community engagement.
Benefits:
Strengthened community partnerships
Launch of the Water Runners Program, a meaningful service experience for young adults

Future Outlook
This project is part of an ongoing commitment to supporting Navajo Nation communities where access to safe water remains a challenge. Moving forward, Intercity Service Coalition hopes to continue building relationships with communities in the Navajo Nation and expanding similar service efforts driven by local needs. The goal is to keep showing up consistently, learning directly from communities, and supporting initiatives that create more reliable access over time. Let's work together to expand this service and show the positive impact the Navajo Nation Project has on the community.
