Regardless
of language or culture, all humans share basic needs
essential for survival. Food. Shelter. Water…
Water.
We drink it, cook with it, bathe in it, sprinkle our
lawns with it, fill our backyard swimming pools with
it - even create theme parks based on it.
We
take its abundance for granted, but in much of the world,
especially Sub-Saharan Africa, access to clean water
is a luxury. More than half of Africa's villages lack
access to a clean water supply. In many of these villages,
women must walk up to ten miles every day to retrieve
the day's supply of potable water for their households.

The
African Well Fund believes that access to safe, consumable
water is not merely a basic human need, but a basic
human right. Our goal is to raise money for the
construction and maintenance of clean water wells in
Sub-Saharan Africa.
You
can help us reach that goal. You can make a difference.
Your donation today will build
wells and will save lives.
