WATER WELL

Drilling Water Wells in Africa

Access to clean well water is not given much thought because it is something most of us in the Western world do not lack. Unfortunately, this is not the case in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa and can often make or break a child's ability to attend school safely. 40% of the global population does not have access to clean water, and 50% of these people live in sub-Saharan Africa. In addition, many communities are not located near a water source, and individuals spend an average of 33 minutes each day walking to get water…which is often still unsafe to drink! Women and girls are disproportionately affected by this reality. Our African partners recognize these inconsistencies and work tirelessly to ensure clean water for everyone in the communities where they work. When many of us envision water solutions, the first image that comes to mind is well water, and it is often the most common means of water delivery. However, as we mentioned before, there are actually many different technologies that can be used to obtain clean water!

Drilling long-lasting water wells in Africa requires technical knowledge, cultural understanding/sensitivity, correct planning, quality materials and years of experience. Whether you're considering building your own water well or partnering with a charity that already drills water wells in Africa,

Honesty and Transparency

Calculating the real cost of a water project

We believe deeply in end-to-end transparency and accountability. This means not only showing every outcome, but also being honest about every cost. Anyone can dig a hole. Anyone can install a pump. But making sure a water project is sustainable and reliable takes time, expertise and a commitment to honest evaluation. How to open a water well? Yedi Başak Humanitarian Aid Association finances the entire life cycle project costs. We request that our partners disclose, to the best of their ability, the true costs of installing and maintaining a water point.

We know that claims of “low-cost” wells or “lifetime” water access for $20 per person are just that, claims. Everyone knows that costs are higher and results are less accurate. Claims to the contrary cheapen the work and ultimately disrespect the communities served. In addition to revealing true water well drilling costs, we also provide realistic assessments of the number of people a particular water project could actually benefit. Quoting a general census rather than more realistic usage figures inflates the perceived impact and may actually deter further necessary investment. Our goal is to see that water is usable and reliable in an entire area.

Transparency and accountability are about first committing to serving others with excellence. When done right, our supporters always benefit, too.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The inspection and follow-up of the water wells opened with your donations are done by our teams. In areas where water wells are drilled, responsible persons are determined and intervention is made in case of malfunction.

Repair projects are carried out for the malfunctions detected in water wells that have exceeded 3 years as a result of the inspections.
