Wilmslow Wells for Africa
Registered Charity No. 328330
The average family of four in Britain uses 500 litres of water a day. Yet in many parts of Africa the only water available is so polluted that it kills both the humans and wildlife that have to share its source.
We have brought water to more than 100 villages, but so much more needs to be done:
Can you imagine -
- Not having a tap in your house
- Walking a mile to collect polluted water
- Five of your children dying of water-
borne diseases
Brenda Mottershead, a British teacher, witnessed these shocking conditions in South
Africa. They inspired her to establish Wilmslow Wells for Africa ...
Now just imagine -
the joy of having a well in your village from which everyone can
draw clean water

Wilmslow Wells for Africa is a direct action charity run by volunteers and working
through known and trusted contacts in Britain and Africa. Our aim is to improve life
in drought-stricken areas of Africa by providing wells, pumps, dams and water collection
equipment.
We keep administration costs to a minimum: more than 99% of everything we raise goes directly to water projects. Since our formation in the mid 1980’s, we have raised £856,000, funded 125 individual projects (many involving multiple wells) and spent only £6,871 on running costs.
Thanks to everyone participating in the
Holiday Cottage Auction
which raised £2,664
