Solar-Powered Water Well Donation: Clean Water Powered by the Sun for Yemen
A solar-powered water well donation brings water to the surface using solar energy in areas where there is no electricity or where the power constantly cuts out.
Your donation on this page goes towards a water well equipped with a solar-powered pump system in Yemen.
How does a solar-powered well work?
Solar panels installed above the well power the electric pump directly with solar energy.
The pump carries the water to a tank; the water flowing from the tank to the taps can also be used when there is no sun.
Since no fuel needs to be bought, running costs are very low and villagers are not dependent on a generator.
Why regions like Yemen in particular?
Where the power grid has collapsed and fuel has become expensive due to prolonged crises, motor pumps often cannot be operated.
In these sunny regions, solar energy is the most sensible way to extract water continuously and independently.
Cost
| Country | Cost |
|---|---|
| Yemen | 6.000 € |
The cost covers drilling the well, the solar panels, pump, tank and installation.
Example: a joint donation, like a family foundation
A large family in Vienna, made up of six households, wants to fund a solar-powered well in Yemen.
The cost is 6.000 €. Per household that comes to 6.000 € ÷ 6 = 1.000 €; each household can pay its share separately.
Those who want to take it on alone can fund the entire well, while smaller budgets can contribute a share.
The benefits at a glance
- Uninterrupted water: not dependent on the power grid.
- Low running costs: no fuel expenses.
- Environmentally friendly: runs on clean energy.

How else can I support Yemen?
You can add a Yemen Qurbani donation to your well donation in the basket; for areas that need deep drilling, take a look at the borehole water well option.
Installation stages in Yemen
- Site selection: a suitable sunny spot where water is most needed is chosen.
- Well: drilled deep enough to reach groundwater.
- Energy system: the solar panels and pump are installed and connected.
- Tank and taps: the water tank and distribution points are prepared and opened for use.
Installation time may vary depending on material supply, transport and security conditions.
