About WELLS BRING HOPE

Wells Bring Hope is a Los Angeles–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that funds and supports the construction of mechanized, solar-powered water systems and sanitation programs in rural villages in West Africa (primarily Niger and Mali). The organization focuses on sustainable tap systems, hygiene education, latrine construction, and village-level maintenance training to ensure long-term access to safe water. Wells Bring Hope operates primarily as an all-volunteer charity that partners with on-the-ground implementers to monitor and maintain projects and to deliver complementary services (drip farming, WASH education). As of April 2026 the organization reports up-to-date activity on its website and blog and posts its financial filings and program updates publicly.
