Our work
How a well comes to a village
Every well starts with an invitation from a local church.
Programs
What we do
Most villages need more than one of these.
New wells
Sealed boreholes with hand pumps, drilled by church crews.
Repairs
Broken pumps are often the quickest way to bring water back.
Latrines
Clean toilets for schools and clinics.
School water
A tap at school, so children don’t miss class to fetch water.
Hygiene lessons
Handwashing and safe storage, taught by local volunteers.
Water committees
Villagers trained to fix the pump and keep a repair fund.
Our approach
The steps
A church asks
The local pastor and village leaders invite us.
We drill
A church crew drills until the water is clean.
They own it
A committee runs the pump and collects small fees.
We come back
Visits for years, and help when something breaks.
