Water Wells
Everyone deserves access to clean water, but in areas of drought or rocky terrain a water well digging deep into the earth is the only solution
Across vast areas of Asia and Africa, continuous drought seasons or mountainous terrain has meant that ground water quickly disappears from the top surface of the earth. Whilst there may still be some small rivers lingering in certain areas, what water remains is often high in arsenic and heavily polluted from human waste.
This means traditional water hand pumps are not a viable options in these areas and the only solution is to dig deep into the soil to create a water well.
Often needing to go below 200 foot, they require a lot of digging and effort to build but can completely transform an entire village.
Capable of providing clean water for both drinking and washing, the wells use a large pipe which not only ensures enough supply for the whole village but also significantly reduces the time it takes for residents to fill their containers.
