Wellspring Africa Charity Profile

Wellspring Africa is a small non-profit organization that was founded to promote water procurement in rural Africa. Since 1984 we have been researching simple well drilling technology and training drillers. The well drilling technology we promote -- hand-powered percussion drilling -- dates back to 1100 B.C. and the drilling methods have been used successfully throughout history in China, Europe, and the Americas.Our goal is to promote these simple technologies so that the villagers themselves can become self-sufficient in creating their own water sources.
