About this organization
Mission
Well Aware is a 501(c)3 nonprofit with headquarters in Austin, Texas that funds and implements sustainable clean water systems to drive economic development and empower communities in East Africa. Nearly 60% of water projects in Africa fail, often within the first year. 100% of Well Aware’s water systems work and they last because of realistic, responsible planning and collaboration. Our partner communities are motivated, organized, and prepared communities who need only sustainable clean water to kick-start their success. That’s why we adapt each project according to the community's specific needs and collaborate with local leaders to ensure the water system’s long-term success.
