We are partnered with local non-profit organization KindOne and Nigerian non-profit Knights of St. Mulumba (KSM) to make Wells for Hope possible. All donations are handled KindOne, who wires all funds to KSM. KSM is responsible for allocating money to build wells in places that are in need of clean water.

It costs around $2,000 USD to construct a well in Nigeria.

The typical rural Nigerian community do not have access to clean water. Most people have to travel nearly one or more miles to nearby rivers to collect drinking water. They filter the water themselves in large pots through a process of natural sedimentation. They make this journey for water around twice daily. The wells we donate allow villagers to conveniently obtain water just a couple feel outside their homes.

Entire villages of around 200 people benefit from each well we donate,

The Knights of St. Mulumba are in charge of determining the location of each well after considering which communities require water wells most urgently.
