Well Repair
Each year there are urgent requests that come in for un-planned well repairs that are received at the end of our season. We work to prioritize the requests and address as many additional wells as possible. These repairs save lives, and time, and joy for our friends in Zambia.
How You Can Help
During the year we have over 300 requests but can only execute 75-100 well repairs. To be put simply we can’t afford to do more. With your help, we can increase that number repaired per year.
Each well costs $1,000 to repair. Any amount you are able to donate is greatly appreciated!

Because of this villages are left with a well that will provide clean water for them for many years! -
