Drinking water - the most threatened natural good
essential for living and unsubstitutable
- 1.2 billion people have not a sufficient access to water
- 2.6 billion people leave without basic sanitary installations
- In 2025, 3 billion people will not have a sufficient access to drinking water
- On average, African children cover 10 kilometres to bring water to their families
- Each day 4 thousand children die of diseases caused by contaminated water
Ensuring access to drinking water on the Earth requires a lot of money. That is corruption which, according to Amnesty International, is the biggest problem!
Through building wells and sanitary installations, the Well of Hope Foundation ensures access to drinking water in the poorest regions in the world. Step by step, we directly help local societies
- We implement specific projects in respect of which we know that they are of a great significance to local societies.
- We invest all the money we manage to collect to ensure access to drinking water. All the costs of the Foundation's operations are covered directly by the founders of the Well of Hope Foundation.
- At the location, we cooperate with local Catholic missions. Missionaries provide us with information on local needs and demand; they assure us that the funds will be used by beneficiaries in an appropriate manner and that the installations built will be properly exploited for several years.
- We have established cooperation with experts who guarantee the selection of solutions which will prove successful in local conditions.
- We require that local societies make also their own contribution through, for example, working on the site or acquiring local materials. That is how we not only build a well but also a sense of responsibility for its appropriate exploitation.
- We evidence each implemented project.
We have already been trusted by several donors. Thanks to their support, we have succeeded in building 8 wells in Cameroon as well as water supply and sanitary installations for a village in Madagascar.
projects are awaiting their sponsors.You can also help
Thanks to regular payments, you can ensure a regular access to clean drinking water, also for several years after the completion of the construction of a well. Thanks to your payments, other people will be able to survive, avoid serious diseases and provide their children with access to education. Is there any other way to use money in a better way? If you want to help, complete a declaration and start building the Wells of Hope with us. Specify an amount you want to donate the Foundation each month and then make a standing order so that your bank could transfer the funds to the Foundation's account each month. Do not forget to specify your e-mail address as we will inform you once a quarter how we have used your money.
