Help keep clean water projects moving in Uganda
Wells of Life works to bring safe water to rural communities in Uganda through new wells, restoration, maintenance, and hygiene education. Ongoing operational support helps sustain the work behind these programs.
About this story
A working water well can change daily life for an entire community. But bringing clean water to families in rural Uganda takes more than drilling a well.
Wells of Life has been working since 2010 to expand access to safe water through sustainable borehole wells, restoration projects, and water, sanitation, and hygiene education. Its work has reached more than 1.5 million people, with over 1,000 wells drilled and hundreds more restored.
Its commitment extends beyond installation. Through Operation Restoration, Wells of Life brings abandoned or nonfunctional wells back into service. Its GreenWell maintenance program helps keep wells operating, while the Healthy Village Program teaches communities practical sanitation and hygiene skills.
Behind these efforts is the ongoing work of coordinating projects, supporting teams, maintaining partnerships, and managing resources.
This campaign helps strengthen the organizational foundation that makes Wells of Life’s long-term work possible.
What this support covers
General operating contributions help Wells of Life maintain the organizational capacity needed to coordinate and sustain its clean water initiatives.
Funds may support:
- Administrative and operational expenses
- Staff coordination and organizational support
- Planning and management of water projects
- Communication with local teams and community partners
- Coordination of well maintenance and restoration programs
- Financial management and organizational infrastructure
Campaign goal: $1,000
Why this support matters
Clean water projects require continued attention long after the first installation.
Wells need maintenance. Communities need ongoing support. Restoration projects require coordination, and hygiene education depends on consistent engagement with local partners.
Wells of Life has built its approach around these long-term responsibilities rather than treating access to water as a one-time project.
Administrative and operating support helps the organization maintain the structure behind that commitment.
By contributing to this campaign, donors help Wells of Life continue coordinating the people, partnerships, and resources needed to bring reliable clean water to rural Ugandan communities.
