Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Environment, Water, Water Resources, Wetlands Conservation & Management
Mission: WWFA promotes rural African community development by providing sustainable water sources and reducing health risks associated with contaminated water.
Results: Since 1996, WWFA has installed over 260 water wells reaching over 300,000 people, especially in hard-to-reach rural areas of Malawi, Africa. We have identified 100 more villages that desperately need clean water sources which motivates us to press forward. With the help of our generous donor-partners, we will bring precious, life-saving water to these deserving people in need.
Target demographics: people who need water
Direct beneficiaries per year: 13 villages which includes over 2,000 people
Geographic areas served: Africa
Programs: drilling boreholes and installing pumps to deliver clean, life-saving water especially to people living in rural, hard-to-reach areas. We provide ongoing maintenance for the water well, as well as maintenance training and community leadership. Also, we focus on empowering communities with knowledge and the use of indigenous resources for improved hygiene practices.
