Only 27% of Afghanistan’s rural population has access to clean drinking water.
AAFF partners with local workers and uses local materials to construct wells in communities in need of a safe, easily accessible water source.
While many organizations in Afghanistan spend upwards of $35,000 for a well, AAFF can build a well for about $4,500. It only takes $10 to provide an Afghan family with water for life.
Each well we build can serve approximately 500 families. In 2012 alone, twenty-five wells were constructed, providing water to over 12,500 families.
