While a donor may choose a water well in Asia or Africa, we cannot guarantee that we can fulfill requests for a specific country in two continents as we build wells where most needed. A donor may share their preference with us along with their receipt via email at [email protected] and we will try our best to fulfill their request; however, we cannot guarantee that they will be accommodated.
The price to build a water well is $5,000 in Africa and $1,500 in Asia.
HCI currently has water well projects in Kenya ($5,000), Somalia ($5,000), Bangladesh ($1,500), India ($1,500) and Pakistan ($1,500).

It takes between 6 to 8 months for well construction to be completed. This timeline excludes the pre- and post-construction phases, which should be noted. Please also note that unforeseen situations such as weather conditions, political unrest, and travel restrictions in the countries where we work can impact this timeline and may result in further delays.
Yes, donors will receive photos of their completed wells and in some cases videos and construction photos of wells while they are in progress.
Shallow water wells with hand pumps, which are most of the HCI’s water wells, have a lifespan of about 8-15 years.
