Well Worth It
  • Remaining time:0 days left
  • Donor(s):1
Location:Northern Uganda
Well Worth It is a water well drilling project that came out of our Impact Report in Cents for Seeds. The impact survey showed that overall wellbeing of everyone in a household is directly linked with access to water. Now, with each new well drilled, communities in northern Uganda are provided access to clean water - something that they may not have had before.
Raised: $1,000

How does access to water relieve poverty?

Women and children in Africa spend approximately 200 million hours collecting water. They walk anywhere from 5 – 10kms to collect their water 3 times per day.

Often, when they reach the water source, it isn’t even clean.

The time that it takes to collect this water takes women away from tending to their crop, and is preventing girls from accessing an education – education that will give them opportunities that poverty will not.

Well Worth It seeks to provide communities with access to safe, clean water – a basic human right.

Did you know that there are approximately 50,000 water points installed across Africa that no longer work?

Northern Uganda is no exception to this, with many boreholes failing due to lack of continued and regular maintenance.

Repairing on of these wells will restore this water to the community that is desperately in need.

Okune Well

A contaminated water source 2.9kms away was their only was of accessing water. They would make this trip 3 x per day. In the village, the team spoke with a 70year old man from the community who had never seen clean water. He never believed in his lifetime it would be possible. The well now provides water for a community of 2,000 people.
