Wells for the World, Inc.

is a nonprofit NGO charity, currently active in Kenya and Tanzania, that empowers marginalized communities in developing nations through scientifically-sound and sustainable clean water projects. We provide the resources necessary to not only obtain life-sustaining water but also to flourish economically, improve the collective level of health in communities, and advance education opportunities to allow future generations to take responsibility for their community and lasting self-sufficiency. is the dream of Clifford Yantz, a hydrogeologist with 33 years’ experience in the environmental and engineering consulting industry, who for years had envisioned establishing a charity to benefit the 1.2 billion+ people that lack access to clean drinking water. WFTW is more than just about installing drinking water wells, it is about applying sound scientific principles to provide clean, sustainable water whether through wells, rain collection and storage (barrels and retention basins), surface water, filtration or other forms of treatment or resources, as we can raise the funds to do so. Proper sanitation is also a key component of providing clean sustainable sources of water; therefore, Wells for the World will promote the use of UNICEF's water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) program guidelines to further improve the lives of those we help.
