Who are we? Wells Bring Hope drills wells to bring safe water to rural villages in Niger, West Africa, the poorest country in the world - where one out of 7 children die before their 5th birthday. We are committed to saving lives with safe water and providing sustainable solutions to transform lives for generations to come. The burden of getting water falls upon women and girls who walk 4-6 miles a day to find water. It means that young girls don't go to school and women can't work productively to earn money for their families. Not only do we drill wells, but we also provide training for women to start their own small businesses.
We are an all-volunteer organization. Volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization and they live all over the world. For more information about our organization, please go to http://wellsbringhope.org and also visit us on Facebook. Please join us!
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.

Our Mission: Saving lives with safe water.
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.
