Clean Water
in Boneza, Rwanda
When Arise Rwanda was founded in 2011, Boneza had no access to clean, safe water. After drilling 10 water wells, now 80% of the community has access to this essential resource. With help from World Vision, the remaining 20% of the community will have access to clean water in the near future. Our efforts are now focused on maintaining access to clean water sources throughout Boneza.

- Currently 80% of Boneza residents have access to clean water. 80%
Since 2012,
we have drilled ten clean water wells throughout the villages of Boneza, serving 26,000 people. These wells have been drilled by Living Water and are sponsored by individuals and groups dedicated to the mission.
Each Water Well
provides clean water to hundreds of locals who no longer have to hike to a stream or lake to retrieve their daily supply, which is often dirty and disease infested. Since the initial drilling, it has been determined that the area cannot sustain additional wells. The resolution to this situation is to mechanize two of the wells so they can be drilled deeper and thus provide more water for villagers in the area. A mechanized well can support 2,000 people. This is making a huge difference in the area.
“I live with a disability, so having a source of clean water is a big help. Thus I was delighted when this (water well) was built. Before this was built, we didn’t have clean water in Rusororo… Now we are safe with access to clean drinking water. We used to stay up until 11pm trying to find water. We thank Arise Rwanda. God bless them.”
