How To Get Involved

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:

PROJECTS

Take a look at some of our completed and current projects.

THE NEED

We told you about Suwema and her difficult life without clean, close water. Recently, our Malawi team followed Suwema to her and her village’s water source. Our team verified that this source was woefully inadequate.

Suwema used to trek almost a mile to get to this water that's a shallow ditch along the river!

The problems that come from not having a healthy and abundant water source are many. Not only is there the problem of time spent getting to and from the water point, the water is not clean so many health issues arise. There are bigger problems such as delayed community development like building houses, schools, and other structures (water is needed to make bricks).

Tomorrow, we’ll let you know what happened to Suwema and Mteleleka Village!

We want to celebrate the benefits of providing water & changing lives through WWFA by sharing with you the encouraging story of 30-year-old Suwema from Mteleleka-Zale village.

When we met her, things weren’t so great. She told us that she was always short of time for household chores due to the amount of time spent fetching water. She was sad, too, because she couldn’t bathe as often as she liked. In the West, we don’t have these problems…

Stay tuned and we’ll show you where she used to get her water!

You can positively impact children in so many ways by helping their school get a WWFA water well: hydration, hygiene, and no more missing school due to long treks to collect water!

In fact, your gift will help the villages nearby as they’ll also use the new water well!
