Ethar Relief provides clean water to refugees and needy people in Sudan, Djibouti and Yemen. We try and ensure that no-one is too far from water at any time. By modern construction standards, making a permanent well that taps into water reserves deep beneath the rocky ground isn’t hugely expensive – it’s just far beyond the means of the refugees themselves.

Small wells can be placed in hard-to-reach areas or sparsely populated communities. This reduces the distance these communities need to travel for water and eases the difficulties for thousands of remote families.

Families, unaccompanied children and women are exposed to many dangers as they are forced to travel significant distances to access water which is often dirty and contaminated. The presence of wells protects them and prevents their further displacement.
