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 last fifteen years, we’ve transformed the lives of more than 525,000 people in East Africa, all while maintaining a 100% project success rate. With your support, we will reach 20,000 more people with lasting clean water during this year’s Gift of Water Gala.
Together, we have the power to create a world where every human has access to the basic right of clean water.
“We are incredibly honored to have been named an Anthem Award winner in the Responsible Technology category. We created the Well Beyond app to better serve the communities that we provide clean water for in East Africa and it is humbling to see our work recognized. The power of technology is immense, and we are fortunate to be able to use it as a tool to keep water systems up and running for years to come.”
At Well Aware, we believe that access to clean water is a basic human right. Here’s why schools are at the heart of our clean water work.Read More

Every year on November 19th, we recognize #WorldToiletDay to raise awareness of the critical need for safe sanitation.
For women and girls, specifically, the lack of adequate facilities is more than an inconvenience; it’s a barrier to education, employment, and personal safety. Many are forced to spend valuable time searching for private spaces, miss school or work during menstruation, or face the constant risk of harassment or assault.
Access to safe sanitation is a foundational step toward socioeconomic empowerment for women. 🚽

Catherine is a nanny for one of the teachers at Katikit Primary School and lives within the school compound, helping care for the students. She has firsthand experience with the region`s water challenges.
"Water scarcity was so severe that children often went the entire day without drinking water, with some only getting a cup in the evening if circumstances allowed."
A year later, Catherine has witnessed a dramatic improvement in student attendance and overall health all thanks to their access to clean water!

We have AMAZING news!
Located in Laikipia, Kenya, Uasonyiro Primary School faced health, education and agricultural hardships due to having an unsustainable supply of water, until we partnered with them in 2023. Our team implemented a rainwater harvesting system, eliminating need for external water sources and overcoming groundwater limitations.
A year later, and we are proud to announce the student population has grown significantly and another organization is building a new classroom block to accommodate this growth.
