The Wellspring Foundation · Clean water, close to home

A well should be the last thing a village worries about.

We drill, repair, and hand over community water points across the Rift Valley, then train local mechanics so they keep flowing long after we leave. No trucks of bottled water. Wells that last.

What we actually do

01 · Drilling & construction

New Wells

We survey the water table, drill to a lasting depth, cap the well with a hand pump the village chose, and hand it to a water committee they elected.

$8,400 funds one complete village well

02 · Repair & maintenance

Keep It Flowing

Half the wells in the region were built by others and abandoned. We find the broken ones, fix them, and fold them into our monitoring network.

$220 brings a broken pump back to life

03 · Training & local jobs

Village Mechanics

We train and equip a paid mechanic in every district, so a fault is fixed in days by a neighbour, not in months by a foreign charity.

$1,100 trains and tools one mechanic for a year
