The water that flows when you turn on a tap. The water you wash your face with, brew your tea. For us, it is this natural.
But what if water meant walking for hours, drawing from a dirty pit with a bucket? 2.2 billion people cannot access clean water. Every day a child loses their life due to waterborne diseases.
But this is not just a statistic. It means a mother losing her child, a girl unable to attend school, a community unable to develop. Fatma used to walk 3 hours every morning to carry water.
An 8-year-old child who should have been in school. When a well was built, Fatma was able to go to school for the first time. She is now top of her class.
Ahmed was the village water carrier. Every day he carried 20 liters of water on his back. When the well was built, Ahmed found time to plow the fields.
His family had sufficient food for the first time. Amina could not find clean water during childbirth. After the well was built, birth complications in the village decreased by 60 percent.
At Quenara Foundation, we direct 80 percent of your donations directly to well construction. 20 percent covers foundation expenses. Every penny is accounted for.
The 127 water wells we opened in 2025 directly improved the lives of 63,500 people.
