For the next 12 days, we’re bringing our community together online with an amazing auction, surprise guests, our annual Global Impact Awards, and one-of-a-kind moments that connect you directly to the impact of your generosity.
And behind the celebration lies the most important gift of all: clean water for thousands of people still waiting.
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.

Meet Matheani Primary 👋🏾
A school in Kenya where everything changed this year when clean, safe water finally arrived, in partnership with @waterboysorg.
Before clean water, students often missed class to search for water, meals were skipped, hygiene was difficult, and every day felt a little uncertain.
With clean water, everything has changed: bellies and classrooms are FULL!
This is the Ripple Effect of clean water — hope, health, and possibility flowing through a place that needed it most.
Donate today to help bring clean water to more communities just like Matheani.

Meet our 2025 Geoffrey S. Ryder Ambassador of the Year: Greg Godkin. 🏔️
Greg raised over $85,000 to fund a clean water project in honor of a life gone too soon. And in true Greg fashion, he took on Mt. Kilimanjaro while fundraising.
His drive, heart, and dedication make him an incredible ambassador—and we’re honored to celebrate him this year.
Every voice reminds us why this work matters: bringing clean, life-changing water to communities across East Africa. 💙
