The Last Well

Game-changing news for The Last Well and for YOU coming soon!

When you donate to The Last Well, you are not only providing access to safe, clean drinking water, you are also allowing children to spend more of their time going to school and attending classes ultimately allowing them to earn an income and break the cycle of poverty.

Thank you for your support.

Historically, there has never been a developing country that has had access to clean water for every citizen. In 2020, we changed that.

We coordinated our efforts in Liberia, a country of 4.7 million people, so that every village, every hut, and every person in the country was served by the collective effort.

How do you go about providing water access to an entire country?

The first thing that had to be done for this effort was to go to every village and hut in the country and conduct a kind of water and health census.

This first-ever dataset has made this entire work possible.

He is SO close! Let's save a country! ❤️

A large potion of our work is repairing existing wells.

The costs for this are only a fraction of what is needed to drill new wells meaning that your donation goes farther to help even more people: http://ow.ly/OfiN50G1bWx

Many charities are doing incredible work, bringing sustainable water solutions to people in need around the world.

What makes us different is we’re the first and only organization to reach an entire nation (Liberia, West Africa) with basic drinking water access. We used the United Nations definition of basic water access to develop a plan to reach every community with clean water in Liberia.

Now that we’ve reached our goal in Liberia, we’re using the data-driven system we developed to bring clean water access to more countries border-to-border.

1 well can serve roughly 1,000 people.

A large portion of our work in Liberia consisted of repairing wells but additionally, we focused on training community volunteers in each location so that they know how to perform regular maintenance and quick repairs.

By providing this simple training, we can ensure that each pump we fix will remain in service for years to come.
