From May 1st to May 31st the African Well Fund invites U2 fans and others who are inspired by Bono’s tireless activism on behalf of Africa to donate to the 18th Annual Build a Well for Bono’s Birthday fundraiser in honor of Bono’s 60th birthday.

The 17 previous campaigns have raised over $275,000 in Bono’s honor to fund the construction of clean water and sanitation projects in Sub-Saharan Africa which are benefiting more than 73,000 people in Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Liberia, Mali, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe.

This year’s marks an exciting new partnership between AWF and the Nsiama League. The Nsiama League works to help individuals and families in the village of Nsiama, Congo become self-sufficient and self-sustaining by building a waterpoint for clean, safe drinking water, as well as increasing and improving food production, education, nutrition and sanitation. African Well Fund is seeking to fund the construction of a well in Nsiama which will provide access to safe water for 2,500 people.
