These traditional wells in east Kenya were dug by local communities to provide water sources for their villages. However, due to lack of funds and equipment, there was no way to finish them properly. Now they pose very real dangers to the communities who use them.

Once works are complete, the wells will provide safe, cleaning water to over 5,000 people. But we need your help to get the rest of the way there. Can you help get us past the 50% mark this weekend? No amount is too big or too small! Donate today! africanwellfund.org/build-a-…

The burden of water gathering falls primarily on women, including mothers and their children! What better way to honor a mother in your life than to help provide clean, safe water to another mom? africanwellfund.org/donate

The rumors are flying that we can expect to see a lot more of the whole band in the coming year. What are you most looking forward to? Tour? A new album? An interview cycle with a slew of new and inventive Bonoisms? #BBW africanwellfund.org/build-a-…

They've done it again! A massive thanks to our friends in the wonderful One World Club at Lakewood High. They've just finished their ninth Water Walk, raising $1,500 to support the rehabilitation of thirty wells in Kenya. We are so blessed to have their support year after year.

Today is world World Water Day, a day to focus on fresh water. While we here at AWF focus on funding clean water and sanitation projects in Sub-Saharan Africa, the water crisis is global. #worldwaterday #cleanwater #SDG6

Without safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene facilities at home, it is disproportionately harder for women and girls to lead safe, productive, healthy lives. unwater.org/water-facts/gend… #InternationalWomensDay #SDG6 #SDG5

Globally, 600 million children still lack safely managed drinking water, and unsafe water, sanitation, and hygiene are still responsible for the deaths of around 400,000 of those children each year. It doesn't have to be this way. Africanwellfund.org/donate #sdg6 #cleanwater

Check out the beautiful video our project partners, @OuterLoop Outer Loop Theater Experience, made documenting the construction of the well, which was dedicated to the memory of AWF founding member Laura Page. youtu.be/Tjea5dmja0k?si=Mfx2…

The well is in good repair today, providing clean water to Mloka Primary School and the surrounding community - approximately 1,000 people and all. Its presence has enhanced school hygiene and reduced absenteeism, particularly among girls.

In 2018, we constructed our first well in Mloka to support the maternity clinic funded by our partners at The Outer Loop Theater Experience. That well did more than we could have dreamed, enabling the construction of a larger district health center.
