[email protected]The first initiative BVE took on with our support: a well dug in February 2024 so the community has access to clean drinking water. It was finished within two weeks.
Building a well was an essential step in improving living conditions in Kiryandongo. Where protected water points are far apart and crowded, families, most often women and girls, spend hours collecting water and many fall back on unprotected sources that make people sick.
Access to clean water means fewer illnesses, better hygiene and a stronger foundation for the community's future development.
This was the first initiative BVE undertook with our support: digging the well, so the community has access to clean drinking water. The project brought technical challenges, including unforeseen ground conditions, but thanks to the team's determination the well was finished within two weeks, in February 2024.
Funds are released phase by phase, so each gift ends up in finished work.
BVE dug the well in two weeks, despite unforeseen ground conditions, giving the community access to clean drinking water.

A water committee from the community collects small user fees, buys spare parts and arranges repairs. The maintenance reserve covers larger repairs.
The water is tested after commissioning and again every year. Funding the maintenance phase guarantees three years of testing.
Yes. Eligible gifts of $20 or more receive an official donation receipt. If your company would like visible recognition beyond a thank-you, we treat the payment as a sponsorship instead — the partner page explains the difference.
Extra gifts go to the next phase of the same project unless you tell us otherwise. We will never redirect a designated gift to a different project without asking you first.
Phase 2 needs $2,700 more to get under way (Rolling · starts when funded). Every gift, whatever the size, goes into finished and inspected work.
