PROVIDING CLEAN WATER. BUILDING BRIGHTER MINDS.
Uplift communities struggling with contaminated water across Benin and Nigeria!
Our Mission
To provide clean water and education to underserved communities in Benin and Nigeria, with a vision to expand across Africa.
Our Works
We operate Buraq, our advanced drilling machine capable of reaching depths up to 900 feet. Our renewable energy water solutions reach the driest and most remote regions of Benin and Nigeria.
YOUR TRUST, OUR PROMISE
With an administrative cost of just 2.96%, we ensure that 97.04% of your donation directly funds life-changing water projects. Our Board of Directors serve as dedicated volunteers, ensuring that no funds are spent on salaries.
Water failure in Africa is primarily due to inadequate maintenance. At Rise Relief, we are dedicated to tackling water scarcity in Sub-Saharan Africa while addressing the root causes of water well failures.
Our mission goes beyond well construction — we ensure sustainable, long-term solutions through comprehensive maintenance and repair services. By providing continuous support long after a well’s inauguration, we guarantee the reliability and success of our water projects, ensuring clean water access for communities in need.

Rise Relief is dedicated to providing clean, sustainable water solutions in areas affected by water scarcity. Our water projects primarily include:
- Well Drilling: We drill wells to access underground water sources, with our advanced drilling machine, Buraq, ensuring communities have reliable access to clean water.
- Water Storage Solutions: We build and maintain storage tanks to ensure communities have a steady supply of water.
We employ a variety of fundraising methods to support our water projects, including:
- Individual Donations: Contributions from supporters like you help us fund our projects.
- Fundraising Events: We organize events and campaigns to engage our community and raise awareness and funds.
Our well drilling process is distinguished by:
- Sustainable Energy Solutions: Since 2022, we have transitioned to using renewable energy solutions, such as solar-powered water wells. These systems significantly reduce the labor and time required for intense manual pumping, leading to more efficient and eco-friendly operations.
- Advanced Drilling Equipment: We use our state-of-the-art drilling machine, Buraq, which can reach depths of up to 900 feet. This allows us to access deep groundwater sources that might be beyond the reach of less advanced equipment.
- In-House Drilling Crew: We employ a dedicated drilling crew. This allows us to manage and execute drilling operations efficiently, reduce costs, and maintain high standards of quality control.
- Local Expertise: Our skilled drilling crew has extensive experience and knowledge of the local conditions, which helps in making informed decisions and optimizing the drilling process.
- Longevity Assurance: According to a Forbes article, nearly 60% of water wells fail in Africa within a short period due to inadequate maintenance. To combat this, we provide comprehensive maintenance and repair services to ensure the long-term success and reliability of our wells.
