Over 14 million women and 4 million children spend over one hour a day collecting drinking water in sub Saharan Africa, often trekking through harsh terrain facing animal and human predators.
Yet, we take it for granted, we waste it, and we even pay too much to drink it from little plastic bottles.

A personalised plaque for you or your loved one
We work with our donors and provide feedback, which includes project reports and pictures of the wells and construction. All wells are personalised with a plaque of the donor's name (or a name chosen by the donor if donated on behalf of a loved one).
Please click the Gift aid box as this is used for future repairs to any Water Wells. We proportion a small percentage of the gift aid from each project for the maintenance and upkeep of all water projects, thus ensuring the longevity of all of the projects.

The Well Foundation is an incredible charity which has allowed myself and my family to donate to excellent causes on a monthly basis. We donate knowing full well where our money is going & that the full amount is reaching the desired places. Within the past year we have managed to build wells, provide Braille Qurans and also help in building part of a mosque. This is all with the help of The Well Foundation and it's fantastic volunteers.
