Community Well

Access to clean water can transform the lives of an entire community. Community water wells can serve more than 1,000 people, their livestock, and crops, for up to 35 years. They are often located in arid areas where water is particularly scarce.

The wells are 1.5 meters wide and draw water from around 10 metres or more beneath the ground, making them dependable during all seasons. These water wells provide enough clean water for families, livestock, and crops.

How long will it take to build my well?

A well can take up to 6–8 months to complete, as in some locations construction is only possible during certain times of the year.
