WHAT DO WE DO?

Yeryüzü Doktorları has been implementing clean water access projects in various countries since 2013, including Chad, Kenya, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Niger, Somalia, Afghanistan, Cameroon, and Benin. To date, a total of 1,095 water wells have been drilled across 13 countries, providing over 548,000 people with access to clean water. We continue our clean water access projects, prioritizing countries with significant needs.

We are currently carrying out water well projects in Cameroon to improve access to clean water:

HOW DOES THE WELL DRILLING PROCESS WORK?

The completion of a water well takes approximately 4–6 months from the date of your donation. However, this period may vary depending on regional conditions. If you cover the full cost of a water well, you may choose the name of the well. Once the well is completed, photos, videos, and a project report will be provided to you. Our water wells are covered by a two-year warranty and are inspected periodically to ensure their proper functioning.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Millions of people in the world lose their health through lack of access to clean water, and they even lose their life. You can afford a water-well cost or you can make donations to support a joint water well project.
