🔒 Safety & Privacy Disclosure

Exact GPS coordinates and precise well locations are not published. In many regions where One Million Wells operates, sharing exact locations of water sources can put communities at risk — from theft, conflict over resources, or targeting of vulnerable populations including refugees and children. General country and district-level locations are provided for transparency. Detailed location data is maintained internally and shared with verified partners, auditors, and donors upon request through secure channels. The safety of the people at the wells always comes first.
