Project Overview
Clean Water Access and Sanitation Education
The Ryan’s Well Foundation delivers clean water access, sanitation solutions, and hygiene education in some of the poorest regions of the world. Originating from a grassroots effort led by a 6-year-old Canadian student, Ryan Hreljac, the foundation has grown into a recognized global initiative impacting hundreds of thousands of lives. Safavi’s support contributed to these ongoing efforts by backing the Foundation’s broader mission and vision of wellness through access to water.
Beneficiary Profile
Beneficiaries include rural and underserved populations across developing countries—especially children and families who face daily challenges related to unsafe water sources, limited sanitation options, and lack of health education. The Foundation’s projects are often centered around schools and community hubs to ensure maximum reach and sustainability.
Safavi's Role
The Safavi Philanthropic Initiative provided financial support to the Ryan’s Well Foundation in line with its goal to advance global wellness and humanitarian relief. This contribution supported the Foundation’s ongoing work in water access, sanitation infrastructure, and education. Specific allocation of funds was managed by the Ryan’s Well team in accordance with their program needs and operational priorities.

Empowerment of local communities to maintain and sustain their water systems
These outcomes help create safer, healthier, and more resilient environments for some of the world’s most vulnerable populations.
Purpose & Signifigance
This partnership reflects Safavi’s belief that access to clean water is a fundamental human right and a cornerstone of community development. By supporting the Ryan’s Well Foundation, Safavi contributed to a values-aligned mission that transforms everyday survival into long-term sustainability and well-being.
Future Outlook
The Ryan’s Well Foundation continues to expand its global reach, guided by the same passion and purpose that began with a single well in Uganda.
