Wells Bring Hope

Wells Bring Hope is an organization that is "committed to drilling wells to bring safe water and good sanitation to rural villages in Niger, West Africa–saving lives with safe water."

12,000 more wells are needed.

Why wells?
  • One well costs $5,600
  • One well provides water to a village of 400-500 people for over 30 years
  • 1 in 4 children in areas without clean water dies before their 5th birthday. Wells reduce child mortality by 65%
  • Girls are educated instead of travelling to collect water for their village daily
  • Water-borne illnesses are virtually eliminated
  • Every dollar donated to Wells Bring Hope is matched by World Vision
