About Our Charity and Getting Involved:

Water Wells for Africa is a non-profit originally conceived by members of the Breakwater Church in Manhattan Beach, CA. almost a decade ago. We are answering the cries of our needy neighbors in Malawi, Africa by bringing them clean drinking water. We raise funds to install water wells that serve many families. The clean water dramatically reduces new occurrence of disease and provides resources for micro-farming. Less disease and more food means healthier children and more productive adults… changed lives. Since 1996 we have funded over 90 water wells and have impacted the lives of over 150,000 people.

WWFA is an all-volunteer group with little overhead costs. That means the funds you raise go where they are meant to go—to the villagers, not to our pockets.

WWFA is a project of the Breakwater Church, but it is a restricted fund, which means that money donated for the wells cannot be diverted for church purposes. No church administrative fees are deducted from any WWFA donation. Financially it is a separate entity although under the same tax ID as the Breakwater.
Tax ID Number: 33-1047842

YOU can transform a village by contributing to Water Wells for Africa.
There are many ways to raise funds, such as car washes, bake sales, silent auctions, and whatever you might think of.

We offer a recycling program.
This is a chance for you or your business to:
* Adopt a village
* Work as a team to raise money
* Be a good steward of our earth
* Save in a “throw away” society
* Work toward a long-term goal
* Selflessly serve others who cannot repay

PLEASE CONTACT US
Please let us know if you plan to start a recycling program. We have a DVD and some promotional materials for our Water Wells for Africa project. Or you may want to have us come speak to your church, school or business.
Whether you set up a recycling program at your school or business, or do it individually or as a family, you will be blessed, the Malawians will be blessed and the earth will be blessed. You will be giving a gift to the world.
