Collective Prosperity:
A New WellFound Approach
WellFound's New Approach to Addressing
Inequality
At WellFound, we believe that true gender equality goes beyond empowering individuals and helps entire communities grow and thrive—leading to collective prosperity.
This concept emerged during a review meeting with our Sierra Leone team, where we faced challenges in applying the term “equality.” Shifting to “Collective Prosperity" better reflects our approach and has been well received in communities.

Building Hope and Resilience in Guinea-Bissau
Sustainable Progress in Our Established Communities
Visiting St. Vincente, the first village we supported in Guinea-Bissau back in 2016, was an uplifting experience. The well we installed remains fully functional, and the village continues to thrive. I was particularly touched by a family-run vegetable shop—a small but powerful symbol of self-sufficiency.

A Dream We Thought Would Never Come True
Recently, WellFound finished constructing a borehole in the village of Vaama, Sierra Leone. Now, 250 inhabitants have access to clean and safe water.
Prior to our intervention, water-born diseases were rampant in Vaama, among both children and adults. However, now the inhabitants have safe drinking water and no longer need to suffer as a result of dirty water.
One of the village inhabitants, Christiana, said that WellFound's work at Vaama “was a dream we thought would never come true; absolutely there was no hope that I would one day drink clean water in this community, as this was impossible for us to do on our own - unless a miracle happened.”
WellFound will continue to improve the lives of communities in remote villages across Guinea-Bissau and Sierra Leone

Action4Schools and WellFound Partnership
Action4Schools is a charity based in Gibraltar (https://www.action4schools.gi/ ) that aims to provide a better environment in schools and improve education in remote Sierra Leone. WellFound and Action4Schools share many of the same goals, such as providing a clean source of water, adequate sanitation facilities and improve health and wellbeing across Sierra Leone. Therefore, in 2018 the two charities joined forces so that their actions turn hopes into reality.

The construction of a water well in a very remote village of Sierra Leone held deep personal significance for me, as it served as a tribute to my dear friend, Garfield Hayward, who lost his battle with cancer in November. I chose Sierra Leone due to my personal roots as my late grandfather, who emigrated to England from Sierra Leone in the 1960s and personally travelling to Sierra Leone to oversee the...

Foti and I are a couple from the Netherlands and left our home in Amsterdam to travel around the world. About a year ago we started travelling overseas and overland, working along the way in volunteering projects and keeping a westwards direction aiming one day to make a full turn of the earth (big idea but at least this is our compass).
