Can I go to Africa with Blood:Water?
Currently Blood:Water does not host trips to Africa. We collaborate with local organizations who are responsible for implementing programs in communities. While we send staff to support these organizations and assess completed work, we do not have the ability to bring guests with us. We recognize the importance of people going to Africa, but the demand on our time would greatly reduce the efficacy of our work. We highly encourage individuals to seek out opportunities with sending agencies such as NGO's and churches.

How much does it cost to drill a well?
The costs of drilling wells vary significantly from region to region. Cost factors include local geology (including depth to water), location remoteness, and local cost of materials. Currently the cost range is $4,500 to $18,000. More than 50% of our projects are repairing broken wells which were poorly implemented; this is a very cost-effective solution ($750 to $1,500).
