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 100+ water projects, compared with the industry average of 40%.
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.
Our team hosts a variety of events throughout the year, and we welcome new guests and our loyal friends.
Meet Mitchell π
Mitchell attends primary school in Dago, Kenya, and his favorite subject is English. βI like being able to speak and be friends with the people who come visit our community.β π
Before his community gained access to clean water, Mitchell walked 2km to a river at least once a day to collect water for his family. Now, with a new rainwater & catchment system installed last month, Mitchell can stop fetching water and focus on his dreams of becoming a policeman! π§
βWe use water to drink and to cook or to wash our clothes and shower our body. Clean water will get me to be healthy and strong!β

βEvery day, [globally] over 700 children under 5 die from diarrhea linked to inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene.β (UNICEF)
BUT, with access to clean water, disease rates drop by 64%. π Clean water = improved health for generations. π§β¨

Project Update: Dago, Kenya π
Our most recent rainwater catchment & purification system is now complete thanks to the support of our Brand Partner, @polyconceptna! π° Previously, the Dago community collected unsafe water from a hand pump that had been vandalized, or they walked many miles to fetch water from an open water source.
Now, ~2,000 people in Dago have access to reliable, clean water. π§π More students can go to school, more parents can take care of their families, and more economic growth can occur with this new project.
Clean water = a healthier Dago community. β¨Thank you, PCNA!
βThis project could not have come at a better time. This will make access to drinking water easier. Hopefully, this can help eradicate the ongoing water crisis.β β¨
Meet Margaret π
Margaret is a local leader in Muruku and has been a part of the community for 34 years. She used to worry for the peaceful people of her community when unpredictable rainfall patterns caused Muruku to go into a drought. When the water dried up, Margaret and her peers had to buy water from a private, neighboring community or were forced to walk up to 6 kilometers upstream until water was found. Margaret is excited for the new well we drilled in Muruku last week and for her community to have access to clean water because it will benefit everyone immediately. π§
