How Your Donation Helps:
Immediate Impact: $18 can provide clean water to one person for 20 years.
Sustainable Infrastructure: Funds are used to drill, install, and maintain solar-powered or hand-pump wells.
Community Development: Access to water reduces the burden of walking long distances, improves health by eliminating waterborne diseases, and helps children stay in school.
Every day in rural communities and poor urban centres throughout sub-Saharan Africa, hundreds of millions of people suffer from a lack of access to clean, safe water.

Nearly 1 billion people suffer needlessly without access to safe water. We're convinced this can change - one village at a time. It's incredibly important work. We need your help.

Through your support we invest in proven solutions, drilling fresh water wells and other water projects, providing sanitation and hygiene training, and constructing other sustainable water projects.
How Much Does a Well Cost in Africa?
$50 provides clean water for one person for life. That's our foundational cost for sustainable water access in rural African communities.
Complete water systems typically fall into two categories:
$10,000-$25,000 - Hand Pump Wells
Traditional wells equipped with manual hand pumps, ideal for smaller communities with basic water needs. Includes drilling, casing, pump installation, and community training.
$25,000-$50,000 - Mechanized Wells
Advanced systems with solar or electric pumps, storage tanks, and distribution points. Serves larger populations with higher capacity and convenience
Costs vary significantly based on geology, drilling depth, local supply chains, and site accessibility. Every project includes comprehensive training for maintenance and sustainability.

Give the best of charities this Ramadan and provide the gift of clean water for generations to come.
