We are grateful for all that we have been able to accomplish in 2025 with our amazing partners. This year, AAFF has partnered with six Afghan communities to provide new water systems in their communities.
These communities did not have access to clean water near their homes. Families were either using water from unclean sources or were forced to walk long distances to retrieve water. This is often the job of children and can be very difficult to carry the heavy jugs home.
This year because of the dropping water tables, we have adjusted how we do our wells. Because a greater drilling depth is required, we are installing electric pumps instead of hand pumps. We build water storage tanks so the water can be pumped in the daytime by solar power and stored in the tank for easy access.
Additionally, in 2025 we repaired four wells that were installed by other organizations. We were able to upgrade these wells to have solar-powered electric pumps and water tank storage.
Your generous support is truly making a difference to the lives and health of these Afghan communities. As we prepare for 2026, we plan to provide seven more Afghan communities access to clean water.
Because of our generous donors coming together during the Giving Tuesday campaign, we will be able to start our first well in the beginning of the year.
