DONATE

Water Wells for Africa brings their first water ever to people in remote, hard-to-reach places in Africa. This project will provide a water well to people in need in rural Malawi. The villages we choose are difficult to reach and usually have no access to clean, close water. The villages we help are in areas where many other organizations do not go, but we have not forgotten these people on the fringes of life...and we invite YOU to be part of improving and saving lives in these villages.

Challenge

Many rural villages in Africa do not have clean, easy-to-reach water sources. Instead, women and girls are forced to rise while it's still dark and trek almost a mile to a pond that's green with algae (see pics). Often this journey makes the girls late for school (or they miss it completely). Drinking unhealthy water, many people become ill with diarrhea and cholera. Globally each year, 700 children five-yrs-old and under die from diarrhea linked to unsafe water & poor sanitation.

Long-Term Impact

Sustainable water well systems are WWFA's specialty. With your generous gift, we'll install a simple, easy-to-maintain pump system that lasts up to 20 yrs. Villagers will know how to fix the well if it needs repair. We have proof our wells last this long! Families will be transformed as mothers spend more time with kids, men have water for the gardens, and health flourishes. You'll be part of dramatically improving hundreds of lives! This is a special & real opportunity you'll feel good about!
