Drop By Drop A Well Comes Along

While 850 million people worldwide do not have access to drinking water, 2 billion people are deprived of clean water.

Join a Water Well Fund

So far, IDDEF has drilled 4615 water wells with the support of its donors, providing clean water to more than 2.5 million people. IDDEF aims to reflect the country and type information of the water wells to the donors more quickly and transparently through the newly prepared module.

How Does the System Work?

IDDEF, which set out with the slogan 'Be a cloud on the earth, bring water', updated the water well category on the donation page on the iddef.org website and mobile application. In this way, the category of water wells was transformed into a water fund shaped from the general to the specific. The water well donation page lists the type of well, the country where the well has drilled, the name has been given to the well, and the cost of drilling the well separately. Philanthropists can easily see in which country, what type of well is being drilled, the budget of the project, and the total amount of donations made. In this way, donors who encounter a completely transparent follow-up process can participate in the well fund of their choice.

It Is Easy to Get Involved in A Fund.

In the paragraph below, we explained how a donor was included in the well fund:

First of all, after entering the 'Login' page on the top menu on our website www.iddef.org/en, click on the 'My Water Wells' button from the tab where your name is found to access the panel. If you have already participated in a water well fund, you will see the name of the well, the country and type of the well, and the status of the well fund. For example, in the image above, a donor is included in the fund N-1251 UMMET-I MUHAMMED 137 WATER WELL, the well is located in India and is of the hand digging type with a hand pump. As a result of the donations made, the funding status of the water well can be seen in terms of budget and percentage. If the donor wishes, he can click on the 'Donate' button and contribute to the water well again in addition to his previous donation. Therefore, the funding status of the water well can be monitored instantly. In addition, the donor can go to the water well donation page by clicking on the “New Water Well” button in the lower right corner and follow all funds in the same way.

The World Water Crisis is Growing Every Day

IDDEF is intensifying its work on the water crisis that concerns humanity in general, especially in geographies where there are problems in accessing clean water. In geographies where it is difficult to access clean and hygienic water, especially in Africa and Asia, the growing water crisis causes thousands of people to lose their lives. In these regions, local people, who cannot find the opportunity to drill water wells as a result of economic difficulties, are forced to use and drink water obtained by purifying water from puddles under primitive conditions. As IDDEF, we consider it our duty to work for the solution of this humanitarian problem and we stand by every geography that cannot access clean water.

Clean Water Restores Life

A clean water source is not only a cure for drought, but also a change in cleaning habits. In this way, local people, who have a cleaner and more organized daily life, can lay the foundations of a water-centered life around the well. African people, who have to travel a long way on foot every day to reach clean water, can easily meet their most basic needs with a water well.

Join a Fund to Make Access to Water Easier

Hundreds of thousands of children in Africa die every year from preventable diseases due to a lack of access to clean water. The number of people living on the waterway in this great continent is expressed in millions. Although Africa's groundwater resources are more than a hundred times greater than its surface water resources, drought is one of the biggest crises of the 21st century. You can be a partner in solving this crisis by joining a water well fund.
