SUNSHINE ACTION

A water well is a structure created by digging or drilling the ground to access groundwater in underground aquifers. The water is drawn by a pump or a bucket. Sunshine Action is drilling small water wells in poor villages in different countries around the world. Each well is shared by 3-5 families and provides water for:

• Irrigation

• Washing

• Human and animal usage
