How a Well Is Built
A look at the verified steps of a BCP water project, from drilling to daily use.
Drilling the Well
Community members operate a Village Drill to reach a safe water source.
Installing the Pipe
The well is fitted with piping to connect the water source to a usable point.
Families Gain Access
Once complete, families in the community can collect and use safe water close to home.
Every water project is planned around local conditions.
More Than a Well
Break the Chain of Poverty provides access to clean and safe drinking water by drilling wells in communities where families previously lacked a reliable source. Children miss fewer school days, caregivers spend less time collecting unsafe water, and households can focus more fully on work, education, and family life.
- More dependable access to water
- Less time spent collecting water
- Support for schools and households
- Stronger community participation
