Current Projects
North America -Helping the homeless
Serving in Arizona and Nebraska with the Salvation Army United Way, St. Mary’s food bank and other independents, to deliver water to the Homeless. The numbers are unclear, but the fact remains we lose human life (the homeless) due to massive dehydration each year. By working with these agency's and providing them with bottled water, lives are saved!
Nicaragua- Central America- Well projects outside of Leon
In the Villages that surround this beautiful town of Leon, we have drilled functional wells. The need for these deep borehole wells, is due in great part to the contaminated aquifer lying at the 25-50 foot depth level. The contamination mainly derives from the fertilizers used to produce local crops, in a region where sugarcane is typical. Most of the local wells are hand dug and impact water at the 25-50ft level which is highly unsatisfactory, subsequently causing sickness and death. We drilled in two villages, where a school and clinic is located ultimately providing clean water to hundreds of children. Click here for Video
Costa Rica- Central America-Disaster Relief
We helped fund a relief effort on the East Coast where Storm surge flooded low land areas resulting in contaminated well water.
Dominican republic-well project
Partnership with “Food for the Hungry” built a well and water tank for the local community. This was one of our earliest projects.
Sierra Leone-Africa- well projects outside Freetown
We now have wells in the villages of COBAR FARM, KOSSOH TOWN, and WATERLOO. These wells are in remote areas and have been completely hand dug. The water was 4.5 -7 miles from these villages and unclean prior to our intervention. This country is coming off the heels of a decade of civil war and a nasty one at that. The movie “Blood Diamond” spoke of the diamond trade and ugliness surrounding the period in their history. Water is there number one need. Thanks for your interest.
We have completed several well projects in this area. The journey for water is a seen as a part of daily life, as in so many other difficult places in the world. In this region, Aids is everywhere and clean water is vital to eradicating this terrible epidemic. By drilling wells the children are able to attend school and as a result learn about aids and the need to prevent its spreading further throughout their country. Unlike dirty water, clean water helps diminish the potential of aids victims, with their high susceptibility due to weak immune systems, from contracting the disease and potentially becoming sick and dying.

In this region we were looking to drill with a group, but could not despite continued efforts to hit water. We invested our funds into catchment systems that were placed on school properties. The beauty of this strategy is that in Northern Kenya many of the native people are nomads. By having water at the schools, the nomads could come to fetch water, and have their children attend class at the same time. The best part of this formula for success, is the safety it offers them in these locations. Those who get water around the world always run high risks from becoming victims of robbery or rape. The statistics on these events are staggering and will be discussed in an up coming issue of our newsletter. See our Newsletter for more information
Northern Peru- south America- Well for school of 5,000 students
We are in the discussion stage to send a well team down in Peru for a school of 3,000 children who currently have no water for drinking or bathrooms...the other opportunity in the same region will be dealing with water for Agriculture needs. More info to Follow!
Northern Peru- south America
Love Peru. This project is currently in the process of well pump upgrade, with deeper drilled wells and larger holding tanks to meet water surges during the daytime hours. The school’s need of water is at both primary and secondary school level. They contain 2,400 children in the morning and 2,600 in the afternoon due to severe space restrictions. Imagine that many children with little or no running water to service toilets, not to mention the lack of personal hygiene and associated problems that come with it.
In the following countries “Water for our World” is seeking support from various organizations in building the right relationships for future projects, in the hopes of drilling wells in 2009/10.
