For most us clean water is easy for us to obtain, yet for over 1 billion people, it is a daily struggle to have access to dirty water! Water for Africa is a charity, who specialises in providing water to African communities and supporting their water source for the long-term, with their own locally based African drilling team. None of our UK team take any salaries, so our donations are targeted directly at our beneficiaries and spent on drilling boreholes, drilled by our own fully supported African team, with our own equipment!

Water for Africa is a UK Based Charity which has developed a successful model over the last 9 years in providing communities in Africa with water, sanitation and health provision. The model has been developed to ensure sustainability and provide a ‘new’ approach to address the high failure rate of broken hand-pumps and water sources across Africa. Our model and core philosophies has enabled us to overcome many traditional challenges which have faced donors for many years. We only drill boreholes and as the only UK charity with its own locally based drilling organisation and locally based team, we ensure that the working with the community, our water sources can be sustained, repaired and upgraded for future generations. It is time for us all to work towards a different approach. Please click here to read more.
