Program areas at Fresh Water Friends

Fresh Water Friends promotes advocacy, fundraising, and clean water technologies for places in the world where healthy fresh water is unavailable. Funds are used primarily for deep bore wells, but may also be used to support other technologies such as water filtration and bottled water distribution. In 2020 and 2021, we were honored to serve underprivileged communities in India during periods of COVID lockdown by providing clean bottled water and daily water trucks for stranded workers. Since 2015, Fresh Water Friends has built 228 wells across the Indian subcontinent and sub-Saharan Africa, which provide clean, reliable water to more than 170,000 people every single day.
