On average, the entire process takes about a 3-4 weeks. The concrete culverts, or casings that line the well walls, need two weeks to cast and dry. Once they are fully cured, they are ready to be lowered into the ground. The rest of the process, which includes the digging, masonry and pump installation usually takes one to two weeks.

The number of beneficiaries has ranged from about 300 to over 1000.

A well costs $2,500 to build. The majority of this figure goes towards the hard costs of building the well, i.e. materials, transportation and labor. However, a portion of the $2500 is set aside for on-going maintenance, including light repairs and frequent water treatments.

Well Done uses our team in Liberia to identify areas that are in greatest need of a clean water source. We consider the current water source being used, the village’s access to clean water, number of beneficiaries and we require a commitment by the village elders that they will ensure the well is left open during the day, locked at night and that it is protected from thieves and vandals.

A location is decided on and our technicians dig the well by hand, using picks and shovels.

---

Culverts (well wall casings) are cast and reinforced with wire mesh.

---

Once water is reached, it is pumped out to allow the technician to dig deeper. When the appropriate depth is reached, the culverts are lowered down to protect the sidewalls from collapsing.

---

The joints between culverts are then sealed. Sand and gravel are poured into the bottom of the well to filter the water as it percolates from the ground.

---

An apron is built to carry spilled water away from the base of the well.

---

A pump is installed and the bolts securing the pumphead are welded to prevent thieves from stealing it.

---

The pump is locked and the keys handed over to the village elders during the dedication ceremony.

---

After the project is complete, Well Done carries out a regular inspection of the well. It is very important to us that the well serves the people for years to come.
