Clean water, close to home

Across Africa, local leaders know exactly where a well would change everything. You can help them dig it, so families stop walking for water and start drinking water that is safe.

Hours spent carrying water

Around the world, 2.2 billion people still do not have safely managed drinking water, and the gap is widest in sub Saharan Africa.

Outside Manzini in Eswatini, our team helped a 91 year old grandmother haul water up the hill from the spring, the same trip she has made her whole life. In many villages that trip falls to women and girls, and the water at the end of it can make a family sick.

Leaders who know where to dig

Our partners across Africa live in the communities they serve. They choose the site, bring the community together and keep the well running long after it is finished.

We give that work a boost with funding for wells, pumps and filtration, so the people closest to the need can move faster.

What your support does

New wells
Drilling and building wells where a village has no safe source nearby.
Pumps and repairs
Hand pumps and the parts to fix them, so water keeps flowing for years.
Filtration
Water systems that make what families already have safe to drink.
Time back
Hours once spent carrying water, given back to school, work and family.
