Hand Dug Well:  $2,200.00

Placing a Hand Dug Well on our store page gives you, your family, or your Church or Business the opportunity to fully sponsor a Hand Dug well in a village. We will send you a picture and some reporting when your well is complete.

Description:

In an effort to help provide clean water to villages we seek to do so through one of two solutions. The first is a hand dug well. Also referred to as a 'seasonal aquafor' these are accomplished when you dig down far enough to find water during the dry season (January - May). Funds go to our Burkinabe partners pay those that have dug, create a concrete sleeve on the inside of the well, provide a cap for security, and construct the well on a raised platform to prevent contamination from wandering wildlife. Our partners also provide basic sanitation training to the local village and train a group of villagers to continue to ensure quality control.
