"Thousands have lived without love, not one without water."
W. H. Auden
The World Health Organisation in 2022 estimated that over 2 billion people worldwide are drinking unsafe water from hand-dug wells, ponds, swamps, rivers, and springs. Contaminated water can transmit diseases such as diarrhoea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and polio which are estimated to cause 485,000 diarrhoeal deaths each year.
Our commitment to making clean water accessible for all continues. Beta Charitable Trust has commissioned a number of wells across destitute areas of Tanzania, Kenya and Pakistan. Despite the continued chaos caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, our partners on the ground have been continuing their hard work and building wells to provide much needed water and sanitation facilities to those who would otherwise be unable to access clean water.
In 2023 we supported a huge 54 wells.
In 2022 with your help and support we were able to build another 45 wells.
In 2021, we are extremely proud to have built a total of 52 wells throughout the driest parts of Kenya, Pakistan, Tanzania and India.
Further wells are available in:
Deepest, remotest villages in Tana River Region, Kenya at $1,900
Shallow wells dug to 30-50 feet
Morogoro, Kibiti and Kilinidi Regions, Tanzania at $2,500
Sludge Drill wells dug to between 20-35 metres depending on location
Pakistan at £650 for water tank well (dug to between 150 - 190 metres) or £1,110 water tank well (dug to between 350 - 500 metres) or £175 for hand pump
To sponsor or contribute towards the building of a well, please kindly email admin@betacharitabletrust.org or contact us. If you would like the well to be in loving memory of someone, please kindly ensure you include this in your message so we are able to organise a relevant plaque with our partners on the ground.
