What the repair covers
Focus the work on the parts that stopped clean water from flowing.
What gets restored
A repair targets the system that already exists.
Fountains of Hope is not presented like a new-build well. The project begins with an existing water point, then focuses on the broken parts that prevent families from using it safely.
Depending on the site, repair work can include inspection, pump or pipe replacement, cleaning, hardware fixes, and documentation after the water point is returned to service.
Inspection first
The repair starts by confirming what failed and what must be replaced or restored.
Focused repair work
Funding is directed toward the pump, piping, hardware, cleaning, or field work needed for that site.
Back in daily use
The goal is to return a known water source to the families who already depended on it.
How a well is restored
A repair project starts with an existing water point, focuses the field work on what stopped functioning, and ends with donor updates showing restored clean water access.
Step 1
Select a repair
Choose a direct repair gift or request a dedicated campaign for your family, group, school, or community.
Step 2
