Situation
Millions of people still live without access to safe water. The problem is especially acute in rural areas in sub-Saharan Africa. Many are forced to travel vast distances to collect water, and this burden often falls on women and girls, who subsequently miss out on education and an active role in the economy. A lack of clean water also increases levels of water-borne diseases such as cholera, dysentery and typhoid among children, further impacting health & education in the community.
Solution
WellBoring is a volunteer-run charity which alleviates poverty and improves school attendance by enabling schools and communities in developing countries to access water. We fund and organise the drilling of water boreholes, and the installation of pumps, pipes, and supporting infrastructure. Each well costs around £5,000 making it one of the most cost-efficient ways to support hundreds of people. With your help, we can provide safe water to communities in East Africa!
