Clean Water Projects
Fountains Of Hope
In addition to the opening of new water wells, Embrace Relief started a new project called “Fountains of Hope” to reconstruct non-operational water wells, expanding our reach and allowing us to help more people. Currently, Embrace Relief has identified 15 water wells that need to be reconstructed in Chad and Cameroon, Africa. We plan to expand this program and restore clean water access to thousands more with your help. These wells are no longer providing clean water to the communities that rely on them for survival. Your support will go towards repairing these water wells and restoring clean water access for many suffering communities in Africa.
With your help, we will be able to touch the lives of thousands and provide them access to a safe and reliable source of water. This will allow these com

Our Impact
The emergency solution adopted by our organization is installing water wells with hand pumps in regions with little or no access to drinking water. In most of the countries with no permanent fresh surface water, it is possible to provide access to clean water by utilizing underground water resources.
To this day, Embrace Relief Foundation has opened over 365 water wells in several countries, providing more than 370,000 people with access to clean water and improving their health and living conditions.

Why Dig Deep Wells?
In the short term, it may seem more cost-effective to cease digging once you reach the water table. However, shallow wells are susceptible to surface contamination, contributing to diseases such as E. coli, salmonella typhi, Schistosoma, cholera, and hepatitis A. This is especially true with wells on the African continent. While 30 meters — or roughly 98.42 feet — is generally considered a safe depth, Embrace Relief ensures the best quality water by digging to a depth of 45 meters — or roughly 147.64 feet.
According to the American Groundwater Trust, increasing the well depth and the length of the well casing will result in a longer flow path. The longer the length of time water is in the subsurface, the likelihood that bacteria will die-off or be trapped by soil and rock improves.
