IRS990/Desc0PRIMARY PROGRAM - WATER WELL CREATION:WATER WELLS FOR AFRICA (WWFA) GIVES FRESH, CLEAN WATER TO ABOUT 500 PEOPLE EACH TIME WE INSTALL A NEW WELL, AND BECAUSE OF THE DEPENDABILITY OF OUR EQUIPMENT (SOME IN CONSTANT USE SINCE 1996) WE KNOW OUR PUMPS USUALLY LAST MORE THAN 20 YEARS.TECHNICALLY, EACH PUMP COULD SERVE MORE PEOPLE, BUT WE KEEP NUMBERS AT SUSTAINABLE LEVELS TO PROTECT LOCAL WATER TABLES AND ENSURE THE LONGEVITY OF EACH PUMP.ANOTHER IMPORTANT REASON WE KEEP THE RATIO OF PEOPLE TO WELLS IS THAT WATER IS CARRIED HOME IN BUCKETS, OFTEN BY WOMEN AND GIRLS. THEY MUST FIRST WALK FROM HOME TO THE WELL, THEN WAIT IN LINE, AND FINALLY RETURN WITH A BUCKET OF WATER (WEIGHING 8.3 POUNDS PER GALLON) BALANCED ON THEIR HEAD. THEY USUALLY DO THIS MULTIPLE TIMES PER DAY. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IF 100 PEOPLE HAD TO WAIT AT THE SAME WELL FOR ONLY 2 MINUTES EACH, THE LAST PERSON WILL HAVE WAITED ABOUT 3 HOURS AND 20 MINUTES BEFORE GETTING THEIR SINGLE BUCKET OF WATER. THIS IS THE UNFORTUNATE REALITY WE ARE CHANGING. SUCH WAITING IS A DRAIN ON LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND EXPOSES SOME OF THE MOST VULNERABLE PEOPLE TO WEATHER, PREDATORS (HUMAN AND ANIMAL), AND PHYSICAL HARDSHIP. MORE WELLS MEANS LESS WAITING AND MORE TIME FOR OTHER ACTIVITIES SUCH AS WORK, SCHOOL, GARDENING, ETC. THIS IS WHY WE'RE WILLING TO PLACE MORE WELLS IN SOME AREAS.OUR PLANNING PROCESS INCLUDES A LOCAL, ON-SITE NEEDS ASSESSMENT. IN 2018, WE MADE A CLEAR DECISION AS AN ORGANIZATION: WHEN NECESSARY, WE WILL PLACE MORE "WELLS PER PERSON" BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WILL BRING THE GREATEST LONGTERM RELIEF AND WATER STABILITY TO THE PEOPLE WE SERVE. DEPENDING ON NEED, WE MAY PLACE ADDITIONAL WELLS ON OTHER NEARBY WATER SOURCES SO NO SINGLE PUMP BECOMES OVERUSED OR ANY WATER TABLE DEPLETED.THE POPULATION OF MOST MALAWIAN VILLAGES IS IN THE HUNDREDS RATHER THAN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, SO WE WORK WITH FEDERAL AND REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS, AS WELL AS LOCAL LEADERS, TO MAXIMIZE THE POSITIVE IMPACT OF EACH WELL WE INSTALL. OUR SYSTEMATIC LOCATION SELECTION PROCESS HELPS ACCOMPLISH OUR "MOST PEOPLE SERVED" GOALS, BY PLACING NEW WELLS IN PLACES EASILY ACCESSIBLE BY MULTIPLE COMMUNITIES. THE WWFA TEAM HAVE ALSO BECOME SPECIALISTS AT BRINGING WATER TO PEOPLE IN THE MOST REMOTE AND DIFFICULT AREAS -- PLACES OTHER WATER PROVIDERS OFTEN AVOID. WE OFTEN (AND LITERALLY) GO WHERE OTHERS WON'T, AND OUR WELLS LAST SO LONG THAT PEOPLE SOMETIMES RELOCATE TO BE NEAR THEM.WE USUALLY WILL NOT INSTALL A WELL UNLESS IT WILL SERVE 50 OR MORE FAMILIES, AND WE STRIVE FOR EACH WELL TO MEET THE NEEDS OF AT LEAST 100 FAMILIES. AVERAGE FAMILY SIZE IN MALAWI IS 5, SO WHEN CALCULATED THIS MEANS EACH WELL HELPS APPROXIMATELY 500 RESIDENTS ALONG WITH PASSING TRAVELLERS. WE TRACK THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF FAMILIES IN MOST VILLAGES WE SERVE, AND USE ESTIMATES/AVERAGES IF WE CAN'T GET EXACT NUMBERS.IN 2019, WE PROVIDED LIFE-GIVING WATER TO APPROXIMATELY 15,070 MORE PEOPLE THROUGH THE COMPLETION OF 22 NEW WELLS -- AND WE EXPECT THESE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TO HAVE CLEAN AND CLOSE WATER FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 20 YEARS.WATER WELLS FOR AFRICA IS BOTH OUR NAME AND OUR MISSION. TO DATE -- WITH THE HELP OF OUR WONDERFUL SUPPORTERS -- WWFA HAS PLACED A TOTAL OF 225 WELLS THAT CONTINUE TO SERVE ABOUT 340,820 PEOPLE WITH FRESH, LIFE-GIVING WATER EVEN AS YOU READ THIS. WE'RE SAVING LIVES, INCREASING INDEPENDENCE AND GROWTH, AND PUTTING HEALTHY SMILES ON FACES ACROSS THE COUNTRY OF MALAWI.OUR SUCCESSES ONLY MAKE US WANT TO ACCOMPLISH MORE. GIVEN ADEQUATE RESOURCES, WWFA WOULD GIVE EVERY HUMAN ON THE PLANET CLEAN WATER, BUT PRAGMATISM LEADS US TO WHERE WE CAN DO THE GREATEST GOOD.
