Pearl Action Aid Foundation (PAAf) strives to bring about meaningful change in the world through high-impact programs. One way we do this is by providing easy, quick, and reliable access to clean drinking water to people living in the remote villages of Congo.
Each water well will provide surrounding residents with fresh water for drinking, cleaning and cooking, and will ultimately have positive impacts on health.
The benefits don’t end there, as without these water wells, adults and children are forced to walk miles each day to distant water sources, clean or otherwise. They are forced to choose between life sustaining water and going to work or school.
For adults this translates into less hours worked and less money earned to support the family. For children this can lead to less or no education and ultimately continues the cycle of poverty for another generation.
In most East African countries like DR Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania the cost of one water well is $9360, and includes the complete concrete base water well and a plaque with a memorial dedication to a person or group of people of your choosing.
Occasionally a water well is constructed for less than $8900, and in those instances, the remainder of your donation is used to bring relief to East African communities through services such as food parcels, orphan sponsorship or other aid.

Many families choose to donate together as a blessing for a loved one, while others donate together in the name of their family or organization. Whatever the reason, providing easy access to clean drinking water is an incredible gift!
