About This Project

The Problem

Can you imagine life without clean water? 



In rural Afghanistan, 73% of the population lives with the reality of contaminated water every day. 


Afghanistan American Friendship Foundation (AAFF) is working to bring hope and health to the families of Afghanistan by drilling wells that will provide a safe source of water to as many communities as possible.


Common Water Source in Afghanistan


Join the FLOW

Last year, AAFF constructed 25 wells which provided over 12,500 families
with clean water.  But we're running out of funds.  Without your help, our well project will run dry.


That's where FLOW Afghanistan Campaign comes in.  We're asking you to help us
Fund Local Options for Water in Afghanistan.


Every $10.00 we raise will provide a lifetime water source for one family.  With your generous donations, we hope to raise enough funding to complete five wells, providing 2,500 more families with the health and hope that a clean water source can provide.

Why AAFF?

We're a small organization, but we have a passion for serving the families of Afghanistan and we work hard to make the most of our resources.


Because we are experienced in well construction, you can trust that your funds will be used to the maximum benefit of Afghan communities.


It Takes a Village

Use Of Funds

$5,625 Tipping Point Goal

Well Drilling in Progress




By employing Afghan workers and purchasing local building materials, AAFF is able to keep production cost low while helping the local economy.


Our goal of $22,500 will provide the materials and manpower needed to complete five wells,
providing over 2,500 families with a lifetime of clean water.



Once we meet our tipping point goal of $5,625, we can begin construction on the first two wells. 


We greatly appreciate your support and want you to know exactly how your donations are being used.  A detailed budget of our well-building operations can be found here:
