Sponsor a Water Supply

It costs less than you think, saves lives and reduces poverty.

What you get when you sponsor the full cost of a community water project

  • Donor satisfaction by helping hundreds of people who otherwise may never have had access to a clean, safe water supply.

  • We ensure value for donor buck (effective altruism) with each sponsored community well, typically impacting 500 to 2,000 people.

  • Community name, GPS coordinates and population or school enrolment numbers provided. 

  • The donor is recognised and acknowledged as the official sponsor on a plaque attached to the wellhead.

  • Prompt Action.  Donors typically see the results of their investment within one month.

  • Real-time progress reports are provided as the wells are constructed.

  • A Completion Report is provided after the well is handed over to the community.

Water Solution Methods

We'll match your donation to the most appropriate water solution method when you sponsor a project. 

 

There are engineering and technical considerations with water movement.  Our projects range from a simple hand pump installation to a more complex solar pump installation.  Community water supply costs range from US$1,350 to $20,000, depending on the water solution method.
