Tired of fruitcakes and fuzzy slippers? A donation in a friend's name is a wonderful way to show you care. Wish lists and registries ensure the perfect gift, which you can share with a printed greeting card.
In Zambia, our partners have identified numerous broken down wells that require only a little work to get back into shape. These wells have simply been abandoned because at some point, water stopped flowing and no one knew how to fix it. We're here to help!
The Gift
For less than $1 per person you can help bring clean water back to village that desperately needs it. Your gift will be used to overhaul a broken well by replacing seals, fixing gears, unclogging screens, and whatever else is needed so that clean, safe water can flow again.
If it costs less than $500, and sometimes it does, your gift will "rollover" to the next project. Our partners have repaired some wells for less than half this cost!
No matter what, every dollar of this gift will be used to repair wells.
