Water Wells

HHI is working to bring clean water to the world through a water well drilling program. Wells dug in the name of Christ provide communities with a consistent source of clean water.

Every day in the U.S., we simply turn on the faucet to get a glass of water, shower, or cook. Imagine walking four miles to fill up a jug of water that will be your family’s only source of water for the day.

Now imagine further that the reservoir you go to get water is the same one in which cows and other animals bathe causing you or your family to contract intestinal infections, hepatitis, or typhoid fever.

This is the reality of everyday life for millions of people around the world. They depend on water sources like rivers, streams, or even just holes filled by rainwater--all of which often dry up during the dry season. Over two million people die every year due to water-borne diseases and most of them are children. It has been reported that nearly 80% of childhood diseases are related to bad water.

Help to Bring Clean Water to the World

Give a Gift of a Most Basic Need

Individuals, congregations, or groups decide to sponsor a well.
A site is chosen locally, in the country where the well will be drilled.
The drill team arrives in the community. They work drilling and building the well.
The people have a daily source of clean, fresh water to use in their homes and fields.

To date, Healing Hands International with the help of generous sponsors, has funded the drilling of over 300 water wells that provide clean drinking water for close to 1,000,000 people.

HHI is helping to connect the generosity of others to those who are in greatest need. Ultimately, it is those who contribute to this project who make the work possible. By sponsoring Healing Hands International’s Project Pure, you can bring the gifts of life and hope to thousands worldwide.
