Thirst Relief Wells
You can help provide clean water to rural communities around the globe with Penny Appeal USA.
Our Program
Wells Can Save Lives
Not only can you help end the water crisis, but building a well is an excellent way to honor the memory of a loved one. Dirty water kills 1.5 million people a year, help save those lives by providing communities with access to clean, safe water through our Thirst Relief program.
Build a Well in honor of someone you love.
Once we’ve received the full payment for your well, we will assess the best place for it to be built in your chosen country and once complete we will erect a personal plaque acknowledging your gift. (You can dig the well in honor of a loved one!)
Receive your Feedback Report
When your well has been built and is functional, we’ll send you an individual feedback report so you can see it in action. Your feedback report contains information on the village where your well is located, information about the community who have benefited, a message from the grateful community, pictures of the construction and the finished well in use, and a framed picture to share with friends and family.
