Cambodia

Undernutrition is widespread, and 32 percent of children under 5 years of age are stunted, while 10 percent suffer from wasting.

Chad

1.4 million people in Chad are currently being supported with emergency food aid by the World Food Programme.

Ethiopia

5.2 million people in Ethiopia face a precarious food security situation.

Some words from our donors

All donations received with thanks!

We can't do what we do without your help.

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.
