The Problem
What is water poverty?
The average American uses 100 gallons of water per day, the highest rate in the world.
Meanwhile, the average person in Central Africa uses 5 gallons of water per day, and the water is often not safe to drink. This is among the lowest levels in the world.
An economic impact
Water poverty affects every aspect of life.
Waterborne illness leads to extra spending on medication and lower school and work attendance.
Without a safe and nearby water source, people must walk long distances (often miles) to get water. These wasted hours fetching water take away from education, work, and family life.
A health impact
Lack of clean water and proper sanitation kill more people than all forms of violence (including war).
This remains one of the greatest tragedies of our time, since we have the technologies and knowledge to solve this problem.
But there is hope
When Water for Good was founded in 2004, 1.1 billion people in the world lacked access to clean water.
Now, just 15 years later, that number has fallen below 663 million, a drop of 40%. Together we have played a small but significant role in one of the poorest countries in the world.
Working alongside local government and entrepreneurs, we can scale this work and make a lasting improvement in the lives of the poorest people on the planet.
Our strategy
Drilling Deep Wells
Water for Good has drilled over 700 new water wells in the Central African Republic.
Each well can provide safe, clean water for 500 people. The depth of the well depends on the regions and geology, but most are at least 90 feet deep, accessing the safe water from underground aquifers. We install protective cement slabs and handpumps at the surface.
Cofund a new well
Service Visits
Sustainability must be part of the long-term solution. We maintain over 1000 water wells across the country, keeping the clean water flowing for over ½ million people
Sponsor a Village Pump
Rehabilitating Wells
Water for Good has rehabilitated over 900 old and forgotten wells in this country.
Wells can last over a decade with regular maintenance, but eventually, it will need a major overhaul. We have the expertise to install a new pump, repair the cement slab, or blow debris out of the bottom of the old well.
