Clean Water Wells

Help us fight for clean water. Give today.

About 1 in 4 people worldwide, 2.1 billion people, still lack safe drinking water, and 106 million drink straight from untreated rivers, lakes, and streams. Many are women and children who walk long distances to gather contaminated water for their families. A clean water source improves childhood health, education, and work opportunities for years to come.

Where We Work

South Asia and Uganda

We work strategically in South Asia and Uganda to help meet the global need for water. You can fund an entire well for a village, or share the cost with others. You can be a part of changing lives.

  • Cost of a well, South Asia$3,000
  • Cost of a well, Uganda$3,500
  • Motor pump (some South Asia wells)$1,000
  • Typical install time, South Asia3–9 months
  • Typical install time, Uganda6–12 months

Some South Asia wells need a motor pump, and we don't know until digging begins. To fund or share in the cost of a pump, mention it in the comments of your gift.

Pictures, GPS, and a personal video

  • Pictures of the exact well you supported and the people you've impacted

Pictures and community details

  • Pictures from the well site
  • Details about the community, school, or church receiving the well
  • GPS coordinates when possible

We don't create personalized videos for Uganda wells unless a team from the U.S. is able to visit the well. Our partners on the ground gather the information we send to donors.

For every water project, we partner with local community leaders to make sure the well is maintained and that every village resident has equal access.
