An appeal from our founder

Will you fund the next community on the list?

Ninety communities are waiting on funding. That is the truest measure of the work left to do. Your gift is what moves the next one into clean water.

Every project starts with a community agreement about the water point, access, and ongoing care. The system is built for that site, but like any equipment, it may need maintenance or repair. After handover, the community looks after it day to day. We share project updates where we can.

Come and join me in this journey. No child should suffer for the lack of clean water, and together, we can make sure fewer ever will.

Where it goes

One step closer to success.

Project costs vary by location and site conditions. A complete community well reaches roughly 2,500 people, including schools, orphanages, and health clinics.

Toward the next well

Major gifts & partnerships

Put your name on a community's water.

For companies, foundations, and individuals giving at a leadership level, the most direct way to help is to sponsor a community outright and see it through from groundbreaking to handoff. We work with each partner personally.
