The
Go
Team
Comprised of individuals who have personally faced the challenges of insufficient access to clean water, our GoTeam is dedicated to ensuring that clean and safe water is accessible to everyone in their communities. Their unwavering commitment drives them to tirelessly build and maintain wells, provide training to water committees, teach proper sanitary practices, and offer their expertise to schools and local clinics. Through firsthand experience, they understand the transformative impact water can have on every aspect of life!
How it Started...
In 2008, the Placke family relocated to East Africa and established their home in southeastern Tanzania. Rooted in Christ-like compassion, they immersed themselves in the Ngindo tribe's way of life. They embraced the local language, culture, and daily practices. While also having gained a profound understanding of the challenges faced by the community in this underserved region. Witnessing the struggles of those living without access to clean and safe water, they committed to contribute towards positive change. In 2015, GoDrill was founded as a collaborative effort with their Tanzanian neighbors and friends, extending its impact globally.
"Spending 12 days with Scott and the GoTeam I saw first-hand how thousands of lives were changed through donor support. It made it personal for me! I will forever remember the smiles of the 7000+ villagers of Mangirikiti as they pumped fresh, clean water from their first water well.”
