# Clean water wells

> Six new wells so that families in the dry north no longer walk three hours a day for water.

- Goal: $75,000
- Raised: $48,900 (65 %)
- Donors: 640
- Time left: 166 days left

In the dry north, girls and boys walk up to three hours a day to fetch water from a river that cattle also drink from. The water they carry home makes their families sick.

## Why it matters

Clean water changes everything at once. Children who no longer walk for water go to school. Parents who are not sick can work. Clinics see fewer cases of diarrhoea, still one of the main causes of death for young children in the region.

Each well is drilled by a local contractor, tested by an independent lab, and handed over to a village water committee that collects a small fee for repairs.

The goal funds six wells, the water tests, and the training of local repair teams. We publish the test results for every well on this page.
