WATER FOR AFRICA
Providing Life-Saving Water for Communities and Wildlife
Africa is facing a severe water crisis. In many regions, prolonged droughts have left both people and wildlife struggling to survive. Access to clean water is not just a human necessity; it’s essential for preserving Africa’s ecosystems and protecting endangered wildlife like elephants. In some areas, elephants are forced to venture into villages searching for water, which can lead to dangerous human-elephant conflicts.
At Elephant Cooperation, we’re working to solve this crisis. Our Water Wells for Africa initiative is committed to ensuring that communities and wildlife have reliable access to clean, sustainable water sources. By building wells and boreholes in strategic locations, we help reduce human-wildlife conflict, improve health outcomes, and support sustainable agriculture.
What We're Doing
Through strategic partnerships with local communities and conservation organizations, we are drilling wells and installing water systems that serve both people and wildlife. Our efforts include:
-
Borehole Drilling: Constructing deep wells in drought-prone areas to provide communities and wildlife with a consistent source of clean water.
-
Community Water Pans: Creating separate water pans for humans, livestock, and wildlife to reduce the risk of human-wildlife conflict.
-
Water Conservation Programs: Educating communities on water management practices to ensure sustainable usage and long-term access to clean water.
-
Wildlife Water Points: Installing wildlife-friendly water points away from villages, keeping animals like elephants at a safe distance from human settlements.
Why It Matters
Access to clean water is fundamental to the survival of both people and wildlife in Africa. For families, having a reliable water source means improved health, increased time for education and economic activities, and reduced risk of conflict with wildlife. For elephants and other animals, water wells provide a safe haven during times of drought, helping to preserve ecosystems and reduce the likelihood of dangerous interactions with humans.
