$20 gives one person clean water AND sanitation for life. Give the Gift of Sanitation this Holiday Season.
We fund and implement lasting clean water systems to drive development and empower communities in East Africa. To date, we continue to maintain a 100% success rate across all 120+ water projects, compared with the industry average of 40%.
Over the past 14 years, Well Aware has transformed the lives of more than 400,000 people through access to clean water. We are excited to launch a new initiative to amplify the impact our work is having on African girls and women. Beginning in 2024, we will offer eligible communities access to both clean water systems and toilets, and we need your help to make it happen!
Providing reliable access to clean water produces a Ripple Effect of impact, empowering our partner communities to grow and thrive.
Together, we have the power to create a world where every human has access to the basic right of clean water.
Well Aware was named a finalist in the Developing World Technology category and an honorable mention in the Water category for the Well Beyond App — the first and only patent-pending diagnostics and maintenance app developed to ensure long-term success for water projects.
This December, in partnership with the Chris Long Foundation, Well Aware plans to construct a new, solar-powered deep borehole that holds the potential to transform the entire Mitero community, impacting 4,000 individuals.Read More
60% of the world's population lacks access to a toilet. When clean water is available, education rates increase for girls by 58%. How much higher could that number be if sanitation facilities were also available?Read More
Our Faces of Water highlights individuals within Well Aware’s partner communities directly impacted by clean water. We are honored to introduce you to a few of them.Read More
Core value spotlight: ✨ COMPASSION ✨
One of our priorities is deeply empathizing with those impacted by the water crisis. Compassion guides us in our every day work- how we treat our partner communities, how we treat our donors, and how we treat each other. It’s hard to help someone if you don’t listen to what they need. 💙

This December, in partnership with the @chrislongfoundation's @waterboysorg, Well Aware will construct a new, solar-powered deep borehole that can transform the entire Mitero community! 🙌 🎉
The beautiful community of Mitero currently relies on seasonal and shallow boreholes, each a 2-hour walk. Along with the new system, Mitero will be the first community that will have toilets implemented in 2024 through our Gift of Sanitation Initiative! Access to clean water and toilets in Mitero will foster gender equality and education and decrease waterborne illnesses. 💙

Meet Priscah! 👋
She is a 13-year-old student at AIC Sunrise School in Kenya who dreams of becoming a pilot so she can see the world! 🌍
Priscah and her brother used to fetch water from a far away source that was only available seasonally. With the new water system, students at AIC Sunrise including Priscah have access to clean water in their community every day. 💧
“Water will help me get water for drinking. It will help me get water for cleaning. It will help our school and our students.” 💙

The children in our partner communities motivate our mission. 🌍
When clean water is available, children no longer have to walk long distances to collect water and are able to spend more time playing outdoors, learning in school, and just being kids!
Clean water also creates opportunities for them as they grow up, with attendance and graduation rates drastically increasing in schools with access to clean water. Our children are the future. 💙

It’s World Toilet Day! #DYK only 30% of Kenya’s population has access to a toilet and safe sanitation? That means in every 10 people, 7 do NOT have access to the basic human right of sanitation.🚰
This translates to being a gender equality issue, as the lack of access to toilets contributes to numerous health and safety concerns for women. With adequate water systems and toilets, health, safety, education, economic growth and social empowerment are all possible for women especially. 👧
Read more about how women and girls are disproportionately affected by the lack of access to sanitation and how our team is taking action in our most recent blog post! (link in bio) 💧
