ESG Digital is working closely with the owner of proprietary well-drilling technology that has provided more than 6,500 wells to people around the world in areas that face water poverty. This solution is extremely cost-effective and has already positively transformed the lives of millions of people. Interestingly and unsurprisingly, many profitable businesses have resulted from this success, and ESG Digital is committed to helping scale this revolutionary technology.
In 2010, the BYU school of engineering was approached by Village Drill founder, John Renouard, with the concept of the Village Drill, a manual borehole drilling device. The vision was quickly adopted by the BYU team, and soon thereafter the Village Drill was introduced to the world. The Village Drill team is proud to boast of the now over 103 drills operating in 36 countries across the globe, bringing water to hundreds of thousands in need of clean water.
Engineered to last, the Village Drill was designed with simplicity, transportability, and durability as the guiding principles. With the ability to drill up to 295 feet, and then quickly disassemble and fit in the back of a small truck, the Village Drill was built to meet the needs of organizations doing the hard work of providing water for the nearly 1 billion people lacking simple access.
