Africa Water Well Share | A Stake in One Well

In the heart of an African village left dry behind a receding lake a handle pumps and clear water comes up from the dry ground. The wearying road to a dry riverbed kilometres away becomes a well in the village. That moment is where a few donors' joined intention meets the ground. You need not open a well on your own. Your share meets other donors' parts, we find the water with a geological survey, we dig the well, and we set the sturdy pump. Within 72 hours we add a located photo of the well, frames of the running water, and the date to your panel. On the plaque your name stands beside the donors who shared the same well.

I could not open a well alone, but I could take a share, and that was enough. A few people's parts meet, and a whole village reaches water.
Duaa Y.
Edmonton Canada
Footage of children filling their vessels in turn at the well I shared in dropped onto my panel. I showed that frame to my own children too.
Mahdi D.
London UK
I read how clean water keeps a village standing on the shore of a receding lake. To be a thread of hope for one life, by the plainest means, settled well with me.
Halima A.
Zarqa Jordan
I wanted to show my children what lies behind a running tap. A few families coming together to bring a village water was their best lesson.
Kawthar B.
Vienna Austria
For our anniversary, my wife and I put our names on a well. Meeting other donors in the same well meant a lot to us both.
Rukhsana S.
Durban South Africa
I saw in a report how a receding lake left a village without water, and it stayed with me. With a share, I wanted to have a hand in water reaching that village.

Let your share open Kaolack at dawn

At Quenara, we plan the opening, record the first flow, and carry relief to families who walk too far.

We Pool the Shares, Then We Dig
We never dig a well blindly. We pool the donors' shares into one well, find the water with a geological survey, and only then begin to dig.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this donation

1What does an Africa water well share cover?

Your share meets other donors' parts to become a well that covers the geological survey, the drilling, the water test, the sturdy pump and the name plaque. Yearly upkeep is kept up by our team.

2How does the share system work?

You need not open a well on your own. Small contributions gather into one well, and your name stands beside the other donors' on the plaque.

3Where is the well dug?

For African villages where water access is hardest, like around the receding Lake Chad. The area is chosen by need and the field survey.

4Will my name be on the plaque too?

Yes. The names of the donors who shared the same well stand together on the plaque, in memory of a loved one if you wish.

5How many homes does one well serve?

It depends on the yield, usually the homes of a village or quarter share one well in turn.

6How do I verify the opening?

A located photo of the well, frames of the running water and the date are uploaded to your panel within 72 hours.

7Will the well run dry in the dry season?

The water depth is measured and the well is dug deep enough to give water through the dry months. The yield is kept on file.

8What if the pump breaks down?

It is under the yearly maintenance plan. Our field team checks the pump regularly and repairs it on site if it fails.

9Does my share go only to this well?

Yes. A separate record is kept for each well, and your share is tied to that well alone, moved nowhere else.

10How long does the well take?

It depends on the ground and depth. The first proof, the location and status, reaches your panel within 72 hours in every case.

11Why a share, why not on my own?

A well costs a great deal, and the share system lets a few donors come together to bring a village water, each a part-owner of the result.

12Can I get a tax-deduction receipt?

Yes. Quenara is a Delaware-based 501(c)(3) organization, and your receipt is sent through your panel.

13Is there a bond with the village afterwards?

Yes. Our team stays in the field all year, watches the well run, and keeps up the bond with the village.
