WellBoring is a volunteer-led Charity. We bore new wells and refurbish dead wells in Primary schools in Kenya and The Gambia. Wells cost £6-7,000, and provide clean water for 1,000+ people. 250 wells have been completed in 11 years - Target 1 million people in 2025. WATER IS LIFE!!! Please help!

Situation
We provide clean water where none exists, mostly in Primary schools. Absenteeism is a big problem, with kids suffering from illness (sometimes death) - or collecting water from afar. Once clean water is provided, absenteeism reduces from 26% to 3%, enrollment goes up, more girls are educated and achievement increases. Families and the local community suffer when there is no clean water within reach. It is a massive problem - but one that is easily solved!
Solution
WellBoring provides new boreholes with basic handpumps, and rescues defunct wells - both will full maintenance guarantees. Mostly in Primary Schools with an average of 500+ 'Learners' (plus their families and the local community) WATER IS LIFE, and with over 250 projects completed, we are aiming for 1,000 in 2025. New boreholes cost between £6,000-£7,000 each, with refurbished wells at £1,500-£2,000. We average 1,000 beneficiaries per well (wells last over 20 years) costing pence per person.
