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

A Silent Emergency: bad water is killing people and destroying lives.

TAKE ACTION

Gift of a Lifetime: with clean water a generation can succeed.

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!

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

This headmaster and his students were very touched and thankful for the WWFA water well they recently received. They know that their school days will be greatly improved as students no longer have to leave class to trek and find clean water. The school will be cleaner and so will the hands of the students! And both the faculty and children will have cool, clean water to drink which means everyone will be healthier. Today is the final day that GlobalGiving Foundation will add 50% more dollars to your gift of up to $50!

Last Fall, we learned that many schools in Malawi

Last Fall, we learned that many schools in Malawi don't have clean, close-by water sources. Often students like these girls have to leave class to go search for water.

Their water point is usually .5 to 1 mile away, and it's not usually clean. This poses a health risk to the students and staff, and without a good source of water school sanitation and personal hygiene cannot be properly addressed.

You can be part of changing all that! Today, your donation will be increased by 50% due to the generosity of the GlobalGiving Foundation. What a great time to make your donation for clean water!
