BUILD WELLS TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO DRINKING WATER
5 PEOPLE PER MINUTE
THE WATER CRISIS KILLS MORE THAN WARS!
This is the distance that more than 263 million people must travel daily to reach a water point.
2 billion people use water contaminated with faeces every day
1.8 million children die each year from waterborne diseases, 600,000 of whom are under the age of 5
According
Imagine that all the inhabitants of a country like France are deprived of easy access to drinking water and that everyone has to walk more than half an hour each to meet their water-related needs. Difficult, isn't it? Yet this is what happens to millions of people around the world who suffer from lack of water. More specifically, 844 million people live without a nearby source of drinking water. And climate change, which has been causing numerous droughts in particular for several decades, is only making the situation of developing countries worse…
Thanks to the construction and the drilling of wells, you allow an entire village to access an essential right: water.
– You save future lives from the risk of water-borne diseases and deaths due to the consumption of unsanitary water.
– You ease the difficult daily life of hundreds of women and children who travel dozens of kilometers every day to reach a drinking water supply point.
– You provide water with hygienic quality to hundreds of people every day.
“WHOEVER YOU ARE,
WHATEVER YOU DO, WHEREVER YOU LIVE, WE URGE YOU TO GET INVOLVED AND CONTRIBUTE TO MEETING THIS GREAT CHALLENGE: DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION FOR ALL. »
High Level Panel on Water
In some countries of the world, less than half of the population has access to drinking water. For nearly 10 years, more than 1,500 water projects have seen the light of day thanks to LIFE donors in a dozen countries. But there is still a lot of humanitarian aid to be done to meet the demand for water in developing countries.
Once we have received your donation, a dedicated donor relations officer will accompany you throughout the realization of your project. Then, a 4-step humanitarian procedure is initiated!
Offer a well, alone or to others, in your name or that of a deceased loved one:

With 10 years of experience in the construction of wells, LIFE has established rigorous specifications. Drilling, maintenance, water treatment, training of the water management committee, the choice of the pump and materials contributing to its longevity.
Indeed, the cost of carrying out a work differs from one partner to another, from one country to another, or
even sometimes from one region to another.
In a constant process of improving the quality of wells, we ensure that our partners favor materials known for their reliability and durability in the specifications put in place.
One of the main objectives of the NGO LIFE is to act for all without showing discrimination of any kind.
For the sake of fairness, we have therefore decided to propose an average envelope to the donor based on the average price for a quality work in the regions in which LIFE takes action.
The objective in this sense is to award all of our projects exclusively on the criterion of need and not on that of price so that the cost of the finalized work does not influence our generous donors in the choice of their country of allocation.
As a more telling example, if drilling requires funding of €2,650 in an African country compared to €2,300 in an Asian country, the majority of donations will inevitably be concentrated towards Asian countries, thus harming a large number of needy people in Africa. This average envelope therefore allows us to rebalance this point and to show fairness in our various fields of action.
Still by way of example, in the case of this well costing €2,300, the remainder of €200 will be redirected to our “water fund” in order to complete the financing of other wells requiring a larger budget.
