Fountains of Hope
Restoring water access where it was lost.
A focused repair program that returns existing wells to the communities that depend on them.
Since 2013, Embrace Relief has provided clean, safe water to over 1,000,000 people, transforming lives in communities that once struggled daily for this basic necessity.
Building on that success, we launched the Fountains of Hope initiative in 2021 to identify and repair non-functional wells in Africa, restoring water access where it was lost. With your support, we have already restored 250+ water wells, delivering fresh, accessible water to 300,000+ people across Chad, Cameroon, and Nigeria. And we’re just getting started.
What the repair covers
Focus the work on the parts that stopped clean water from flowing.
Why Restoring a Well Matters
Restoring a damaged well is cost-effective and powerful. For just $1,500, you can bring an entire well back to life, delivering the same high-quality, long-lasting clean water as a brand new one.
Every repair helps families thrive, improves sanitation, reduces the spread of waterborne illnesses, and unlocks opportunities for education, agriculture, and economic growth.
Inspection first
The repair starts by confirming what failed and what must be replaced or restored.
Focused repair work
Funding is directed toward the pump, piping, hardware, cleaning, or field work needed for that site.
Back in daily use
The goal is to return a known water source to the families who already depended on it.
How a well is restored
A repair project starts with an existing water point, focuses the field work on what stopped functioning, and ends with donor updates showing restored clean water access.
Step 1
Select a repair
Choose a direct repair gift or request a dedicated campaign for your family, group, school, or community.
Step 2
Field team completes the repair
Local partners inspect the broken well, complete the repair, and return the water point to daily use.
Step 3
Clean water access is restored
Families regain access to a water source their community already knows and depends on.
Step 4
Donors receive updates
After completion, donors receive project updates showing where the well was restored and how the community benefits.
