Water wells

Worldwide, around 900 million people have no access to drinking water, and some two billion people lack clean water. In many parts of Africa and Asia, water shortage is a daily struggle.

VUSLAT is actively working in Asia and Africa to build water wells in regions affected by geographical challenges, droughts and poor infrastructure. These wells not only provide vital water for drinking and hygiene, they also play a decisive role in fighting water-related diseases. In addition, they support farming and livestock breeding, create jobs and promote economic growth.

VUSLAT has already built more than 5,000 wells in Africa, Central Asia and the Far East, giving more than one million people access to clean water.

How is a well built?

Building a well usually takes 9 to 12 months, depending on the geographical conditions and the depth required in the region. In particularly dry areas, deeper wells are built, which are essential for both farming and livestock breeding. The construction costs vary with the terrain and the depth of the well.

VUSLAT first identifies regions with an urgent need for water and then starts building wells together with partner organisations. If a well breaks down, VUSLAT takes care of the repairs and, through regular maintenance, ensures that the water supply is secured in the long term.
