Build a well, build a community
Your donation can provide provide access to water for Pakistan’s most vulnerable
More than 20,000 children under the age of five die each year from due to drinking dirty water
More than 22 million people still don’t have clean water close to home
Only 36% of the population in Pakistan have access to clean drinking water
Our Goal
Our goal is to develop sustainable, cost-effective solutions for water scarcity across Mansehra District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK). This will include the installation of handpumps and tube wells for families and communities. These wells will ensure that families can have access to clean drinking water close to their homes. Additionally water tanks will be installed at schools so children can have access to clean drinking water while receiving an education.
Your support is crucial in making this project a reality. By contributing to this cause, you will directly impact the lives of families in one of the most underserved regions of Pakistan.

Can I choose where in Pakistan my well is built?

What can I put on the personalised well plaque?
Ideally, way say or one or two full names, along with a short message such as “In Memory of”. Although there are no restrictions on how much text can be put on the plaque, this will affect readability and result in the font size being smaller than the images you may have seen on our website and social media. Please note we are unable to accommodate images, symbols, any other language than English, or anything that may be deemed offensive.
Will I receive a video of the well?
Please note, videos are not included as standard. The build team always try their best to capture a video of each well, but due to time restraints is not always possible. If a video of your well has been captured, it will be sent to you after you have received the feedback report, this being the priority.
Will I receive updates during the process?
Unfortunately, we are not able to give regular updates on progress, due to the admin time it would take and wanting to keep costs as low as possible, to continue to be a 100% donation charity. After the initial communication, the next communication you will receive is the feedback report, by email.
