1 in three people in the world don't have access to clean drinking water
How do we address this - build wells.
We partner with local NGOs who build high quality, simple, easy to maintain wells in the areas which are suffering the most - allowing us to enact long term, sustainable change.
Our first NGO partner is Fountain Of Life - a young charity based in the southern reigon of Senegal where 49% of the population lives without access to clean drinking water.
They construct long lasting wells that are highly functioning and durable while training the benefiting community to maintain them.
​
All of the 300+ wells they have constructed in the last ten years are still in use.

Each a three world well gives water to 100 people for the rest of their lives
