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 £5000 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. No one in the UK or Burkina Faso receives any remuneration for their work.
