Thousands have lived without love, not one without water."
Dedicated to safe drinking water.
The average person requires about five gallons of water each day to survive. The average American consumes well over 100 gallons of water every day, from drinking water, bathing, laundry, to watering a lawn. Yet an entire African household has only five gallons of water available each day.
More then 200 million hours are spent by African people each day in a desperate search for water. And much of the water found in this life-or-death search is tainted or diseased. According to the EPA, more than 4,500 Africans die each day from diseases caused by unsafe drinking water, with half of these deaths being children.
The United Nations estimates that in 25 years nearly half of all African people will face life-threatening water scarcity. This is a preventable epidemic, and one that you can help solve.
A Solution
Africa has long known that she must solve her own problems, and water scarcity is just one example. The Aqua-Africa water well drilling company was established in 2006 by two Sudanese-born men, Buey J. Ruei Tut and Jacob D. Khol. We are determined to save lives and provide opportunities for Africa and her people. By drilling wells in sub-Sahara Africa, Aqua-Africa brings safe drinking water to communities with great need.
