.

Location:

Los Angeles, CA. Salary: $20.00–$22.73 per hour.

Wells Bring Hope is a non‑profit committed to drilling wells to bring safe water to rural villages in Niger, West Africa.

Niger is a place where contaminated water kills innocent victims, most often infants and young children.

One out of seven children will die before the age of 5.

40% have trachoma, which leads to blindness when untreated.

85% of women cannot read or write.

There is more to this sad story. The burden of getting water falls upon women and girls, who walk 4–6 back‑breaking miles every day of their lives to find water. The result? Girls don't go to school—they must help their mothers with this difficult task. Women have no time to work to earn money to improve their quality of life.

When a well is drilled, 250–300 ft. into the ground, lives are transformed instantly. They have hope for their future.

Water‑borne diseases are virtually eliminated.

Child mortality drops by 70+%.

Education becomes a reality for girls.

Women are given micro‑financing tools and education, which enables them to start small businesses and help provide for their families.

Founded in March 2008,
Wells Bring Hope is an all‑volunteer, grass‑roots organization. To see how many wells we've drilled and how many lives we've transformed, go to (Use the "Apply for this Job" box below)..
