ABOUT WELLS OF LIFE:: Wells of Life was founded in 2007 with one specific purpose: to bring clean water to communities in need through the help and collaboration of businesses, individuals, corporations and families. The presence of water has the ability to transform lives, uplift communities and create prosperity. Wells of Life is able to provide the most cost effective rate of construction as a result of owning and operating its own equipment. Wells of Life controls the entire process and has the full staff & resources for every aspect of the well-drilling operation. We work with both public & private sector to raise money to build wells. We have many business sponsors who match funds raised by individuals, families, & schools – making it more cost effective to raise money. We typically work with the village elders to determine suitability, then bring in geologists to determine best site location, then order the drilling rig & infrastructure team. We generally drill one well per week. www.wellsoflifeafrica.org
