Our commitment to sustainability means that every well we build is designed to change lives for decades, empowering villages and schools with reliable access to clean water.

Sustainability Spotlight: Mwedini Mazoto Trust Village
A testament to the long-term impact of our water wells, Mwedini stands as a remarkable success story. Featured in an inspiring documentary Roadways to Change, this community received a WWFA water well in 2016 after they built a road to allow our drill rigs to reach them.
When we revisited in October 2024 — eight years later — we discovered the well’s equipment was still working perfectly and there were zero cases of waterborne illness in children under 8 since the well was installed.
This is the power of sustainable clean water. The well continues to function effectively, protecting the health of the next generation and ensuring a brighter future for all.
