Information: You can have a water well drilled with 5 installments special for Kuveyt Türk credit cards.
In settlements in Kenya where access to clean water is limited, you can cover the cost of a full well by having a hand-pumped water well drilled. As Hayrat Aid, we contribute to families meeting their daily water needs from a closer source by drilling wells suitable for the region's needs and field conditions.
Why is Drilling a Water Well in Kenya Important?
Access to clean water in Kenya remains a significant need, especially in rural areas and regions with limited water infrastructure. According to UNICEF Kenya's assessment published in 2025, 61% of the population nationwide has access to basic drinking water services, while this rate drops to 51% in rural areas. 24.1% of rural households obtain their drinking water from rivers, lakes, and similar surface water sources.
Basic drinking water access here refers to obtaining water from an improved source within a round trip of no more than 30 minutes. The significant access disparity in rural areas highlights the importance of accessible and usable water sources close to settlements.
Through Hayrat Aid, you can cover the full cost of a hand-pumped water well in Kenya and support the opening of a water source that can benefit an average of 200–300 people.
Features of the Kenya Hand-Pumped Water Well
Hand-pumped water wells allow water to be brought to the surface using a pump system operated by human power, without the need for electricity. They can contribute to meeting daily water needs in rural settlements where electricity infrastructure is limited and field conditions are suitable.
