Who We Are
We have been building water wells in rural Africa since 1996.
We believe clean water is the first step out of poverty, and that those without any should have it first.
Our Water Wells Must Meet These Requirements:
Simple
Tech is great, but if a villager needs to order a part from Germany to fix a broken well, it just won't happen.
Sustainable
98% of our wells continue to function after 10 years because of our unique model of community ownership.
Accessible
We go where no where else is going and give clean water access to people who've never had clean water in their lives.
