Vision

Wells for Life® is seeking to address the need for water in India one well at a time, and do so from a holistic perspective by first addressing the physical needs of the individual and then their community. We are seeking to accomplish this task by forming partnerships with other organizations that share the same passion we do for meeting one of the most basic needs: water.

The need for safe water in India is incredibly large. It has been reported that India will be in the water stress category by 2025, and efforts are being undertaken by the Indian government to assess what programs and strategies can be implemented to address this frightening issue. Given the size of this problem, it would be easy to feel overwhelmed and not get involved. However, the nature and scope of the issue also provides opportunity for great success.

To date, Wells for Life® has met the need for water wells in over 380 rural villages and communities throughout India…and the requests keep coming in. It is our vision to meet every viable request presented to us, and to do it in a way that provides sustainability and a lasting impact. We seek to carry out our projects with the wholehearted participation of the receiving community. We work with the community to help them take ownership of the well project in hopes that it will be a life giving resource for years to come.

With each of our projects we utilize the expertise of Indian professionals trained in engineering, hydrogeology, and construction as well as gain the help of the receiving community to carry out the project. Furthermore, it is our goal to establish the location of each project on property that will afford equal access to all those within the village or community, regardless of one’s faith or caste.

Finally, it is our hope that each project initiated will bring immediate relief to the village or community and will be a building block for future projects for all those we are in partnership with.
