ORGANIZATION: Wells Bring Hope

Wells Bring Hope Logo

Wells Bring Hope drills wells to bring safe water to rural villages in Niger and Mali, West Africa, among the poorest countries in the world. Our mission is to save lives with safe water. The burden of fetching water falls on women and girls, which means that girls can't go to school and women can't work to earn money for their families. All that changes when a well is drilled in a village. Your help is more than just a drop in the bucket, it transforms lives for generations to come.

Why not start the year off by giving of your time and energy? Few things have the potential for boosting your spirits more than giving back to others in need.

Currently, we are looking for someone to help design and implement a donor development/fundraising plan for the organization.

Primary Objectives:

  • Expand donor base and increase donations.
  • Keep current donors and strengthen their loyalty.

Potential Roles & Responsibilities (to be finalized in consultation with applicant):

  • Work directly with President/Founder and the Director of Operations to develop and implement a plan to expand donor base.
  • Recommend ways to generate donor loyalty, on-going financial commitment.
  • Help to determine how to generate recurring donors.
  • Work with Board members to support their fundraising/friend-raising efforts.

Thank you for your interest.
If interested in this position, email your resume to Ida@WellsBringHope.org. We look forward to hearing from you!

Mission Statement

Our Mission: Saving lives with safe water.

Description

Wells Bring Hope is a non-profit committed to drilling wells to bring safe water to rural villages in Niger, West Africa. Niger is a place where contaminated water kills innocent victims, most often infants and young children.

One out of seven children will die before the age of 5
40% have trachoma, which leads to blindness when untreated
85% of women cannot read or write

There is more to this sad story. The burden of getting water falls upon women and girls, who walk 4-6 back-breaking miles every day of their lives to find water. The result? Girls don't go to school--they must help their mothers with this difficult task. Women have no time to work to earn money to improve their quality of life.

When a well is drilled, 250-300 ft. into the ground, lives are transformed instantly. They have hope for their future.

Water-borne diseases are virtually eliminated
Child mortality drops by 70+%.
Education becomes a reality for girls.
Women are given micro-financing tools and education, which enables them to start small businesses and help provide for their families.

Founded in March 2008, Wells Bring Hope is an all volunteer, grass-roots organization. To see how many wells we've drilled and how many lives we've transformed, go to www.wellsbringhope.org/

While we have specific opportunities listed here, we are flexible and open to new ideas.
