Why donate wells?
Donating wells is one of the most effective ways to provide sustainable aid. It is an investment in the future – for families, children and communities. Your support provides access to a critical resource that many of us take for granted, but for others remains an unattainable luxury.
How does the donation of a well work?
Your donation will be used to build a well in regions where access to clean water is a challenge. The process is simple and transparent:
- Donation amount: A fixed sum is donated depending on the type of well (family well, community well, large electronic well).
- Design and construction: Our on-site team designs and builds the well with local workers to ensure it meets the specific needs of the area.
- Name tag: The fountain will have a name tag showing your generosity and support.
- Donate: The finished well is donated to the community or family for long-term use.
- Updates: You will receive photos and reports documenting the implementation of your donation.
Thanks to our close collaboration with local partners, we ensure that your donation is used efficiently and effectively.
Types of fountains you can donate
We offer several options for donating a well, depending on your needs and budget:
- Brunnen for families: With a donation of €350 you will finance a well that will be built specifically for a family from Bangladesh or Burma.
- Large electronic fountain: With 1700 euros you can finance a well with an electric pump, ideal for mosques, schools or larger communities.
Each of these options aims to sustainably improve access to clean water and simplify people’s daily lives.
Why is clean water so important?
Clean water is essential for health and well-being. The lack of clean water leads to diseases such as cholera, diarrhea and typhoid, which mainly affect children. Here are the main advantages of a fountain:
- Health: Clean water prevents the spread of diseases and improves general hygiene.
- Instruction: Children who no longer have to spend hours fetching water can go to school and build a better future.
- Economic development: With access to water, families have more time and energy to generate income and improve their livelihoods.
A well is more than a source of water: it is a symbol of hope, health and progress.

How do communities benefit from access to clean drinking water?
Interview Between Time.news Editor and Water Access Expert
Editor: Welcome to Time.news! Today, we have an insightful discussion lined up about a pressing global issue—access to clean drinking water. Joining us is Dr. Mae Johnson, an expert in sustainable water solutions. Thank you for being here, Dr. Johnson!
Dr. Johnson: Thank you for having me! I’m excited to discuss such an important topic.
Editor: Let’s dive right in. The article highlights the critical need for clean water worldwide. Can you elaborate on why donating wells is such an impactful solution?
Dr. Johnson: Absolutely! Water is essential for life, as we all know, but millions of people lack access to this basic resource. Donating wells provides not just water, but hope and health. Each well can serve entire communities, making a lasting difference. It’s truly an investment in the future of these families and their children.
Editor: That really puts the significance into perspective. For our audience, could you walk us through how donations for wells actually work?
Dr. Johnson: Of course! The process is designed to be straightforward. First, a donor contributes a fixed amount based on the type of well needed—whether it’s a family well for about €350 or a larger electronic pump well for around €1,700. Local teams then collaborate to design a well that meets the specific needs of the area, ensuring it’s culturally and environmentally appropriate. After construction, the well is officially handed over to the community, and donors receive updates, including photos and reports, showing the impact of their generosity.
Editor: That transparency is crucial, isn’t it? And the idea that local workers are engaged in the process seems to empower communities as well.
Dr. Johnson: Exactly! This approach creates jobs and builds local capacity while ensuring that the well is suited to the community’s specific context. It’s more than just providing water; it’s about creating sustainable development.
Editor: Speaking of sustainable development, the article mentions the various benefits that come from increased access to clean water. Can you touch on those?
Dr. Johnson: Certainly! Access to clean water dramatically improves health by preventing diseases like cholera and diarrhea, which are particularly deadly for children. This leads to better hygiene practices, which further reduces illness. Additionally, when children don’t have to spend hours collecting water, they can attend school, which opens doors to a better future. On an economic level, communities with access to clean water can focus on farming or other income-generating activities rather than just survival—it catalyzes broader economic development.
Editor: It sounds like the ripple effects can be profound. Have you seen tangible changes in communities after well donations?
Dr. Johnson: Yes, I’ve seen it firsthand! In regions where new wells have been established, families report significant improvements in health and quality of life. Children can study in the evenings and thrive in school, reducing dropout rates. Communities come together to celebrate their newfound access to water, fostering a sense of unity and hope.
Editor: That’s inspiring to hear. For those motivated to take part, what can they do to help support these initiatives?
Dr. Johnson: Getting involved is easier than many think! Individuals can donate directly to organizations that build wells, or even fundraise in their communities to raise awareness about water scarcity. Every contribution, no matter how small, counts. It allows us to reach more families and communities in need.
Editor: Thank you, Dr. Johnson, for your insights today! It’s clear that the need for clean water is urgent and that supporting well donations can make a genuine difference in countless lives.
Dr. Johnson: Thank you for having me! Together, we can work towards a world where everyone has access to clean water—it’s a goal worth striving for.
Editor: Absolutely! And to our readers, if you’re inspired to help, consider looking into ways you can contribute to well donations. Every drop counts!
