The drilling process
the drilling process takes about 3-4 days, depending on the depth. In some areas, the water level is high, and wells can be dug by hand. In other areas, it is necessary to drill deep wells. |

Building of a hand dug well |
|
We first identify communities and villages in need of clean water. Sometimes it’s through people reaching out to us.
Secondly we find and partner with existing non-profit organization working in the country – our “implementing partners”. Why don’t we drill the wells ourselves? It would take years of hydrology and drilling research and training to learn about the soil conditions and become familiar with the culture in each country. So our model is to find the best in the business and increase their capacity instead.
The organizations we partner with have years, sometimes decades of experience providing clean water and basic sanitation. African Reflections Foundation staff then visit the project, monitoring their success and sustainability, providing comprehensive reports to our donors. |
