We build wells across Africa and Asia — and document every single one, so you can see the exact families your gift reaches.
Across Africa and Asia, women and children walk for hours every day to collect water that often makes them sick. A single well changes that — bringing safe water, health, and time back to an entire community.
Your gift doesn't disappear into a budget. It becomes one well, in one village, serving real people you can see.
Three steps, from your gift to clean water flowing — with proof at every stage.
Pick a country and well type that fits your intention — from a simple hand pump to a full village system.
Our local teams and hydrologists drill, build and test the well — usually within a few weeks.
You get photos and video of the finished well — with a plaque carrying the name you choose.
Every project is fully documented and dedicated with the name of your choice.
You'll receive photos and videos during the building process and once it's completed — plus the exact location of your water well.
Customize the plaque however you like — your name, a loved one's name, or any message you choose.
Choose from many secure payment methods — whatever is easiest for you.

With African Well, you can build a water well as a meaningful gift — not only for those who will benefit from it, but also as a special tribute to a loved one. We provide one of the most thoughtful, unmaterialistic, and life-changing gifts possible: a water well that brings hope, sustainability, and the power of giving back to those in need.
I built a well in my late father's name. The video of the children drinking from it was the most moving gift I have ever given.
Every well is documented with photos and video during and after construction, and we share its exact location — so you see the real people your gift reached.
Yes. We add a plaque with the name you choose — a loved one, a parent who has passed, or your family — and it stays on the well permanently.
Across six countries in Africa and Asia: Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and India.
Most wells are completed within a few weeks of your gift, depending on the project type and location.
Projects include up to 10 years of warranty on parts, with ongoing service and maintenance support.
In a few weeks, a community will have clean water — and it will carry your name.
