WE HONOR INDIGENOUS AFRICAN CULTURES AND THEIR WAYS OF LIFE, WHILE WORKING COOPERATIVELY WITH LOCAL LEADERSHIP AND EMPOWERING THEM WITH WATER, KNOWLEDGE, AND HOPE. 0 0 162958 1400 PRIMARY PROGRAM - WATER WELL CREATION:WATER WELLS FOR AFRICA (WWFA) SAVES AND IMPROVES THE LIVES OF PEOPLE IN RURAL AFRICA BY INSTALLING WATER WELLS FOR THEM. TO DATE OUR WORK HAS REMAINED WITHIN MALAWI. WE GIVE THESE COMMUNITIES CLEAR, (GEOGRAPHICALLY) CLOSE, CLEAN WATER, ALONG WITH EDUCATION THAT IMPROVES THEIR OVERALL HYGIENE AND HEALTH. IMPORTANTLY: WE CREATE LASTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR RECIPIENTS, AND SUPPORT THEM TO "FULL WATER INDEPENDENCE" BY TRAINING A TRIBE-SELECTED GROUP ON COMPLETE PUMP MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. OUR FIRST WELLS WERE INSTALLED MORE THAN 20 YEARS AGO, AND CONTINUE PROVIDING LIFE-GIVING WATER TODAY.SERVICE EFFECTIVENESS: EACH OF THE WELLS WWFA INSTALLS CAN SERVING UP TO 2,000 PEOPLE, AND THAT IS A GENERAL GOAL. BECAUSE THE POPULATION OF MOST MALAWIAN VILLAGES IS IN THE HUNDREDS RATHER THAN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, WE WORK WITH FEDERAL AND REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS, AS WELL AS LOCAL LEADERS, TO MAXIMIZE THE POSITIVE IMPACT OF EACH WELL WE INSTALL. THROUGH A SYSTEMATIC LOCATION SELECTION PROCESS DESIGNED TO REACH OUR SELF-IMPOSED "MOST PEOPLE SERVED" GOALS, WE ESTABLISH NEW WELLS IN PLACES EASILY ACCESSIBLE BY MULTIPLE COMMUNITIES. BECAUSE OUR WELLS LAST 20 YEARS OR MORE, PEOPLE ALSO SOMETIMES RELOCATE TO BE NEAR THEM.OUR WELLS GENERALLY SERVE BETWEEN 1,300 AND 1,700 PEOPLE. WE USUALLY WILL NOT INSTALL A WELL UNLESS IT WILL SERVE 50 OR MORE FAMILIES, AND WE STRIVE FOR EACH WELL TO MEET THE NEEDS OF AT LEAST 250 FAMILIES. AVERAGE FAMILY SIZE IN MALAWI IS 5, SO WHEN ROUGHLY CALCULATED THIS MEANS EACH WELL HELPS AT LEAST 1,250 PEOPLE--AND USUALLY MANY MORE (WE USE AVERAGES WHEN WE DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NUMBER OF RESIDENTS IN AN AREA). IN 2017, WE PROVIDED LIFE-GIVING WATER TO APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MORE PEOPLE THROUGH 28 NEW WELLS--AND WE EXPECT THEM TO HAVE THAT WATER FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS.WATER WELLS FOR AFRICA IS BOTH OUR NAME AND OUR MISSION, AND TO DATE - WITH THE HELP OF OUR WONDERFUL SUPPORTERS - WWFA HAS PLACED 170 WELLS THAT CONTINUE TO SERVE APPROXIMATELY 309,250 PEOPLE WITH FRESH, LIFE-GIVING WATER TODAY.OUR SUCCESSES ONLY MAKES US WANT TO ACCOMPLISH MORE. GIVEN ADEQUATE RESOURCES, WWFA WOULD GIVE EVERY HUMAN ON THE PLANET CLEAN WATER, BUT PRAGMATISM LEADS US TO WHERE WE CAN DO THE GREATEST GOOD. 11628 SECONDARY PROGRAM - EDUCATION & OUTREACH:WWFA EDUCATES THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE PLIGHT OF PEOPLE IN RURAL AFRICAN VILLAGES WHO LIVE WITHOUT CLEAN AND EASY-TO-REACH WATER. WE SHARE INFORMATION THROUGH PRESENTATIONS, VIDEOS, PRINTED MATERIALS, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND OUR ORGANIZATIONAL WEBSITE. 174586 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 CA X THE ORGANIZATION 3109957079 PO BOX 635 MANHATTAN BEACH CA 90267 GEORGE KURTIS DAHLIN DIRECTOR/PRESIDENT 15.00 X X 4500 0 0 REID POWELL DIRECTOR/SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 GEORGE HASH DIRECTOR/TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 4500 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 277656 277656 66 66 277722 0 0 66 X 1400 1400 4500 4050 225 225 3394 3394 20672 16445 916 3311 7291 1076 566 5649 2415 2128 173 114 172 129 43 17559 17511 48 WELL DRILLING/CONSTRUCT 126420 126420 SOFTWARE LICENSING 5138 430 145 4563 VIDEO & PHOTO 3668 3668 CHARGES & FEES 1979 1329 650 601 601 195209 174586 6718 13905 84155 110297 16985 73050 2079 2079 1191 1497 104410 186923 0 0 X 104410 186923 104410 186923 104410 186923 82513 0 X 0 0 0 X 103643 101193 203037 213710 277656 899239 103643 101193 203037 213710 277656 899239 48052 851187 14 7 7 16 66 110 899349 0.94640 0.96000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA - ANGOLA, BENIN, BOTSWANA, BURKINA FASO, 0 1 PROGRAM SERVICE, GRANT WATER WELL DRILLING AND CONSTRUCTION 127820 0 1 0 0 0 1 127820 0 127820 0 0 0 0 0 0 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B WHEN THE FORM 990 IS READY, IT IS EMAILED TO THE ENTIRE BOARD FOR REVIEW.
