Clean Water

 

The Plight of the People

It’s difficult for most of us to imagine what it would be like to walk two, three, or even four miles every day just to collect water. After the long trek, women often wait in line for hours to fill a single plastic jug, only to make the exhausting journey home carrying forty to fifty pounds of water on their heads. This grueling routine isn’t a choice; it’s a daily necessity for survival.

Even then, the water they collect is often unsafe. Many families rely on swamps, ponds, or lakes that they share with animals. As a result, they are exposed to dangerous bacteria that cause widespread sickness and even death. In Uganda, an estimated 80% of all childhood illnesses stem from drinking contaminated water.

Our Solution

The good news is that we are drilling wells in as many villages as possible. Every time we drill a well, it's like a miracle to the people. It is their first step to economic recovery and the solution to their fight against water-borne illness. Many of the people testify that the wells have brought peace and have restored hope that poverty will one day be eradicated in their communities. Farmers can now water their crops; businesses can be started; and women can have their lives back to do other things besides walking long distances hauling heavy jugs of water. Even more, the gift of clean water is the love of Jesus in their lives.

Our Process

We work to provide long-lasting water and sanitation solutions to communities who are suffering from lack of clean drinking water. Our goal is to reach as many communities as possible where people are suffering. Our objective is much broader than to see the wells drilled and the water flowing. We want to see communities take ownership of their wells; practice good hygiene and sanitation habits; and care for their wells so they will last for the next generation.

 

How you can help

 

The cost of drilling a deep well is $10,000. One well can transform an entire community.

Donate any amount for our next well.
