What is The Well?

The Well is WorldServe’s community of monthly donors who power sustainable, solar-driven water systems and the local teams who maintain them. Monthly support is the most reliable way to fund clean water—so families can thrive all year long.

A monthly gift that keeps safe water flowing—today, tomorrow, and years from now!

How your monthly gift works:

1

Join monthly

You join with a monthly amount — we suggest $20 or more — in keeping with your budget.

2

We invest for impact

WorldServe invests your resources and those of others in deep boreholes, solar pumps, storage, taps, and local water committee development and training.

3

See your impact

You receive updates, briefings, and stories from the field so you can see your impact.

Consider the “Ripple Effect” of Your Generosity

$20

Train a local team

When paired with other gifts, your support could help fund community engagement and training for a local maintenance team — the people who keep a new tap flowing long after launch.

$50

Protect water quality

Water needs to be safe from the start: your gift could underwrite water-quality testing and reporting during start-up, plus ongoing testing to help ensure water is safe for the future.

$100

Connect the system

Your generosity might be invested in high-quality solar and distribution components — critical parts that connect a deep borehole to storage and community taps.

$500

Document impact

This level could fully fund a completion & impact report as a system is handed over to a grateful community.

Trust & Transparency

As part of The Well, you’ll receive regular field updates and stories of the people you’re helping, allowing you to see firsthand the difference you are making.

After you’ve been part of The Well for at least 3 months, you’ll receive a small welcome gift. On your 1-year anniversary, we’ll celebrate all we’ve accomplished with a special thank-you and a private virtual briefing with our team. Friendly heads up – we’ll always disclose any fair-market value on your receipt – or you can let us know if you’d prefer not to receive these small blessings!
