Impact Assessment of the “Clean Wells for Villages” Project by ASIF Foundation

Introduction to the Borewell Project

The Borewell Project, implemented by ASIF Foundation in Gia Lai, is a meaningful initiative aimed at providing clean water to ethnic minority communities in underserved areas. With the goal of constructing 200 clean wells between 2020 and 2023, the project partnered with the Red Cross of Gia Lai province to enhance the quality of life for thousands of households. Thanks to Clean Wells for Villages, local residents have not only reduced their living expenses but also improved their health and minimized waterborne diseases caused by unsafe water sources.

Key Achievements of the Project

The Borewell Project has achieved remarkable milestones, highlighting ASIF Foundation’s vital role in community support:

• Completion Rate: 186 out of 200 wells built, reaching 93% of the set target.

• Beneficiaries: Approximately 160,000 people gained access to clean water, averaging 800 people per well.

• Usage Rate: 89% of households use the wells daily.

• Sustainability: 72% of residents are willing to contribute to maintaining the wells.

• Social Impact: Reduced time spent fetching water, fewer illnesses, improved living conditions, and increased community self-reliance.

These figures demonstrate that Borewell Project is not just a solution for clean water but also a source of long-term value for the people of Gia Lai.

Key Lessons Learned from Project Implementation

After three years of execution, ASIF Foundation has drawn valuable insights from the of the Borewell Project:

• Water Quality is Critical: Some wells face issues such as iron contamination or odors, requiring ongoing monitoring and treatment.

• Flexible Funding Model: Combining external funding with community contributions fosters a sense of ownership and encourages locals to maintain the wells.

• Monitoring & Maintenance: Sustaining pump equipment and water supply systems is essential for ensuring long-term efficiency.

• Expanding Support Models: Integrating initiatives in sanitation, livelihoods, and education can amplify the positive impact of the Borewell Project on the community.

Future Directions

Moving forward, ASIF Foundation will continue collaborating with local organizations to ensure the wells operate effectively. At the same time, the foundation will explore sustainable financial solutions to scale up the Borewell Project model to other disadvantaged regions, bringing benefits to even more people.
