Fresh Water Friends

Fresh Water Friends Our mission is to provide fresh water for the forgotten: communities so rural or so impoverished that they simply can't get clean water on their own.

We build wells to deep aquifers through local partners, creating ownership and economic opportunity. Our organization funds deep water wells and other water technologies in India, Africa, and other areas facing extreme water scarcity. Our primary goal is to have 1,000 wells serving 750,000 people in our focus areas by 2027. Since 2015, we have funded more than *450* wells in more than 13 Indian pr

ovinces, as well as Malawi, Uganda, and Pakistan. These wells provide daily nourishment for more than 450,000 people and their animals, allowing children to attend school, young women to gain vocational skills, and mothers to care for their homes and families. With a deep water well, communities are healthier, stronger, and more prosperous. We mean it when we say, "We're not just giving water -- we're giving everything else that water brings!"

All that stood between these kids and clean water was a pump and motor. The well was already built! Their village just needed a little boost to help get that good water aboveground. And now their smiles say it all!

“Before the construction of this well, obtaining clean water was one of the greatest challenges faced by this community. Because water was hard to get, families used it sparingly, only for essential needs such as drinking. Maintaining proper hygiene and sanitation was often difficult, which further affected the health and well-being of the community. The construction of the well has transformed daily life by providing a reliable source of clean water close to home.”

Imagine pausing your school day so you could collect water from here…

Yeah, that’s what we thought, too. So we worked with a generous Friend in Montana who wanted to honor her late husband, and we built them a well!!

Water really does change everything!!

Nothing is more important to a parent than their child's health.

This well is in honor of the parents who work and strive so their children can be healthier. So their sons AND daughters can go to school. So that EVERY kid in the village can have a better life - and their kids can, too. ✨

Happy Son and Daughter Day, Friends!!

This is what *hope* looks like.

These children live at this school for so many reasons: perhaps because they're orphaned, or because their homes are broken. Perhaps because education is their only chance to break the cycle of poverty and have a better future.

But the groundwater beneath the school is contaminated by industrial pollutants, and whenever it rains, the school's well gets infected by typhoid bacteria. So they asked us for a reverse-osmosis filtration system, so that *every glass of water is clean, safe, and nourishing.* Now, instead of being burdened by medical bills (can you imagine the medical bills for 400+ sick students??), the school can focus its resources on helping these kids learn, grow, and *thrive.*

When you help kids like these get clean water, you're not just giving them water - you're giving them *everything that water brings.*

Health. Education. A future... and a HOPE.
