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 140+ water projects, compared with the industry average of 50%.
Millions across East Africa still lack access to clean water. Over 50% of international water projects fail. At Well Aware, our local teams ensure every system lasts, delivering health, education, and opportunity for generations.

Why does community involvement matter? 🩵
One of the most important aspects of any water project is getting our partner community’s buy-in on its planning, development, and maintenance. This collaboration is part of why 100% of Well Aware’s water projects are still in use today.
We hope you’ve enjoyed our #WaterWisdom for #WorldWaterWeek series!

We join @olpejeta in the mourning of sweet Baraka’s passing this past Sunday, their beloved blind black rhino.
His name means “blessing” in Swahili and that’s exactly what he was. Our team had the privilege of knowing Baraka for the past many years and every time we saw him, he was a light in our lives.
While our team is very sad for our friends over at Ol Pejeta, we are taking the time to celebrate his life and the many people all over the world he made a lasting impression on. Rest easy, Baraka 💙
