Myra’s Wells Provides Clean Water in Burkina Faso, West Africa

A drilled well – at least 50 metres (165 feet) deep – provides clean water in Burkina Faso for upwards of 2,000 people, for drinking, cooking, washing, horticulture and animals. Wells cost about £5800 to drill and commission.

Could you help us by making a donation?

Who are we?

Our charity provides life-saving water wells in Burkina Faso – one of the poorest countries in West Africa. A few places do have mains water, but even that supply lacks purity.
100% of donations received go to pay for wells. The Trustees in the UK and Burkina Faso receive no remuneration for their work. The salaries of the two administrative staff employed in Burkina Faso are paid by the UK Trustees, or using funds specifically donated for this purpose.
