Give the Gift of Clean Water
Today and Into the New Year
Clean Water Today. Lifelong Impact Tomorrow.
At Well Aware, every year-end gift connects you directly to the people and communities whose lives are transformed by clean water — not just for a moment, but for life. With your support, these communities gain the tools, training, and resources they need to thrive long into the future.
Every gift you make fuels real impact: from the first water drop to sustained community growth.

Why Year-End Giving Matters
This year’s funding is more critical than ever. This has been a turbulent year – for nonprofits, for the global economy, and for the communities we serve. We’ve made tough but necessary choices, cutting our budget and streamlining operations; not because our mission has diminished, but because it matters too much to risk.
Right now, Well Aware is working to ensure every one of our 140 partner communities, and the many more still waiting, has access to safe, reliable water.

Stories of Impact
Every gift unravels into a story. Stories like Fabian, Nice, Soloi, and Kilonzo, where a single water well transformed daily life, ending long, dangerous walks for water and opening doors to education and opportunity. This is what you make possible.
-
Fabian
11 years old • Katumani Primary School, Kenya
Fabian loves social studies because it allows him to learn about Kenya’s history and current events. He dreams of becoming a pilot one day, so he can travel the world and explore different cultures. Since the implementation of the new water project at his school, Fabian hasn’t fallen ill from waterborne diseases and feels more confident about his health.
“Water has changed my life.”
-
Nice
6 years old • Salaita, Kenya
Nice loves education and hopes to become a teacher when she grows up. Before she had access to reliable water, she sometimes missed school to walk 3 km and fetch 5 jugs of water. Now that her community has access to clean water, she is happy that “people are healthier and farm animals have enough water.”
-
Soloi
13 years old • Musoa Primary School, Kenya
Soloi loves learning about science, particularly health and the human body. He hopes to work in law enforcement when he grows up so he can help maintain peace in Kenya.
“Water is life because it helps in diet and keeping our bodies cool. I have never had access to water during the school day, and now I do.”
-
Kilonzo
14 years old • Nthaani, Kenya
Kilonzo enjoys school because his teachers are kind and work hard to provide quality education. He hopes one day to become a doctor so that he can help people in his community and around Kenya. Access to reliable water has allowed Kilonzo to spend more time on his studies and less time fetching unclean water several kilometers away.
“Now, I can focus on my dreams.”
Thank You for Powering the Year Ahead
