HELP US FIGHT FOR CLEAN WATER. GIVE TODAY.
An estimated 785 million people do not have clean water—that’s nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide. Many are women and children who walk long distances to gather contaminated water for their families to drink. Access to a sanitary water source improves childhood health, education, and work opportunities for years to come.
We work strategically in southern Asia and Uganda to help meet the global need for water. $2,850 will install a tube well for a village in Asia or you can share the cost. In Uganda, well installation costs $3150. You can be a part of changing lives.
Note: A few wells require motor pumps, and the need is unknown until digging begins. You can choose to fund or share in the cost of a motor pump ($1,000) by mentioning it in the comments of your gift.
Typical Install Time After Donation
- Asia - 3-9 months
- Uganda - 6-12 months
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I GIVE?
You will receive pictures of the exact well you supported, the people you've impacted, and GPS coordinates of the well's location. If you, your business, or group fully funds a well, you will also receive a personalized video* of the dedication ceremony (example above).
For each of our water projects, we partner with local community leaders to ensure maintenance and equity of access for all village residents.
*We are able to have a printed banner made upon request to be displayed for the dedication service and video. If you share the cost of a well, you will still receive village details and a video, but the video will also thank the other donors whose funds were pooled together with yours.
There are many creative ways you can raise money for the wells. Here are just a few ideas:
- Run any distance, from a 5k to a marathon, to raise money for your well. Learn more about our annual team campain here: Running Water for the Living Water .
- Gather empty water bottles and distribute to coworkers, friends or family to fill with change.
- Instead of gifts, ask for donations for your birthday or special event.
- Hold a yard sale for clean water
