Water Well Activities
EVERY DONATION IS A SIP OF WATER
As the International Cooperation and Relief Association (IBS), we continue to drill water wells to address the need for clean water in Bangladesh, one of the poorest countries in Africa and Asia.
In Ethiopia, where clean water is a major problem in rural areas, the wells we have drilled allow people to meet their clean water needs. Every day, thousands of people in need draw water from these wells to sustain their lives.
In Bangladesh, access to clean drinking and usable water is also a major problem, especially in rural areas. The water wells drilled in villages allow hundreds of people to meet their clean water needs every day.
The scarcity of clean water negatively impacts people’s lives, primarily through diseases. In these deprived areas where treatment options are also lacking, the risk of epidemics is also increasing.
In areas without water wells, women and children are forced to spend 8-10 hours a day searching for water, even just to find a container.
Our water wells are put into service within 1-2 months, depending on the conditions in the region.
The maintenance and monitoring of the opened water wells are carried out by our teams in the region and our officials who go to the region.
To date, our association has opened 296 water wells in different parts of the world.
With your donations, we will continue to open new water wells in Ethiopia and Bangladesh.
