New wells, January 2025

Water is life itself.

In rural Chad, families sometimes have to walk long distances for their daily water. Fetching it takes up a large part of the day.

Less time fetching water, more time for school

Clean water is vital for hygiene and health

One well serves a whole community for years

Your name lives on at the well.

Personal wells are marked with a name plate and become a lasting sadaqah jariyah that gives water for years.
