THE WATER WELLS PROJECT
Water Wells for Africa (WWFA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to drilling and maintaining safe water sources in the rural communities of Malawi, Central Africa. We do more than drill ...
WWFA is a holistic water project with a thirst for life.
Our team is committed to establishing lasting changes in every aspect of the process. Right from the beginning, when it comes to your contributions, we keep very low overhead costs here in the States and over seas, so that the funds you raise and donate are maximized for the villagers who need life-giving water. When it comes to the drilling process we are devoted to establishing deep, meaningful partnerships with Malawian owned and operated companies that allow these businesses to flourish.
Beyond this, we are committed to water sustainability, so within the maintenance phase, we not only keep each well working, but we teach the rural recipients how to use their new water sources for better hygiene and sanitation. You can become a part of this lasting change. We welcome your support today.

April 6, 2010 - "Initiative
Impossible" - Drought Devastated African Villages
WWFA CEO Seeks to Provide Water in Drought Devastated African Village
In 2010, WWFA is initially focusing on a major relief initiative
to provide water for more than 5,000 Malawian villagers who have been devastated
by continual drought and disease from stagnant surface water. The existing
initiative, termed “impossible” by local water well agencies, has proved to be
the greatest challenge of WWFA to date. Malawian drilling experts have the
challenge to find
a way to transport heavy equipment into these 5 remote villages over mountainous terrain and small, battered roads.
Any individual,
business, school or community group interested in partnering with WWFA will be
able to raise funds and invest in this "initiative impossible." WWFA has
set up an adoption program that allows investors to fund the drilling,
installation, and maintenance of the 5 new wells that are needed.
2009
WWFA, WFA,
Partner To Deliver
Fresh Water To Primary Schools In Malawi
During 2009, WWFA worked in partnership with Water For All, a South African
company, to provide 23 Play Pumps in primary schools in Malawi, Africa.
These new pumps allow areas of greater populations to have quick access to large amounts of water while providing a fun twist for hundreds of school kids. Each pump can provide water for more than 600 primary school children and
thousands in each surrounding location.
During the year WWFA also drilled and
installed freshwater hand pump wells in 10 other needy Malawi villages.

Warning!
Nigerian scammers are using Craig's List to advertise
fictitious properties for rent.
They claim to be volunteers in organizations like Water Wells For Africa and state that they need to rent need apartment they own in the US (which offered at a VERY reasonable monthly rate) to be able to continue their volunteer work in Africa.
The giveaway to their scam is that they require a large deposit to be wired to Africa. Be very careful if you run into such an ad.
Check out the credentials before you end up losing money and please contact local authorities if you determine that it is a scam.
