African Well Fund
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
African Well Fund is a Non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for the construction and maintenance of freshwater wells throughout impoverished sections of Africa. It was founded in October of 2002 by a group of U2 fans who were inspired by frontman Bono's May 2002 visit to poor sections of Africa along with former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Paul O'Neill. It should be noted that, while the organization was inspired by Bono's charitable work throughout Africa, it is not directly connected to the band.
The organization is partnered with Africare, and is staffed entirely by volunteers to minimize overhead.
