Wells for Water is a community development program designed to drill water wells in the greater Palu, Sulawesi, Indonesia area. Back in 2018 and simultaneously a tsunami/earthquake/liquefaction event occurred destroying an estimated 90% of the water wells in this area. Our goal is to begin drilling water wells up to 100 meters in depth in the communities that were the hardest hit. Each well could deliver water to several hundred families and several thousand people. $1,500USD per well
In October 2018 a tsunami/earthquake/liquefaction event occurred simultaneously in Palu, Sulawesi, Indonesia. As a result an estimated 90% of all water wells in the area were compromised or destroyed, thus leaving tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of Indonesians without a consistent water source.
Each community water will provide a consistent source of clean drinking water. Each will will be strategically drilled in common community areas with each access in the villages. Our wells will have state of the art low maintenance, durable surface pumps that are basically maintenance free. A concrete pad will be poured around each water pump ensuring longevity of the well bore. Hundreds of families and thousands of people will benefit from each will drilled.
Our water wells will help provide a clean water source in these communities for generations impacting tens of thousands of lives. Providing a clean and consistent water source especially in remote villages will also help promote better hygiene and assist with local agriculture water supplies as well.
