WHAT DO WE DO?

"Physicians Across Continents" has been implementing clean water access projects in various countries since 2013, including Chad, Kenya, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Niger, Somalia, Afghanistan, Cameroon, and Benin. To date, a total of 921 water wells have been drilled in 13 countries, providing clean water access to 465,909 people. We continue our clean water access projects, prioritizing countries with significant needs.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Millions of people in the world lose their health through lack of access to clean water, and they even lose their life. You can afford a water-well cost or you can make smaller donations to support a joint water well project.

Never Forget! Water for us, life for them!
