Africa Water Well Share | A Stake in One Well

Your share goes into the whole job of the well. That includes the groundwater survey and the drilling and the pump. The water test and the name plaque are paid from the shares too.

You do not have to open a well on your own. Many donors' shares gather in the same well. It opens once the shares are complete.

Yes. Every donor who shares the same well has a name on the plaque. You can also add the name of someone you love.

It depends on how much water the well gives. Usually the homes of one village take turns at the same well.

A video of the first water and a photo of the plaque reach your donor panel within 72 hours of the opening.

The village maintenance group takes over the well. The pump is checked all year. Any fault is repaired on site.
