Steven is smiling again.

After surgery, and recovery, seeing him sit up and wave is a reminder that healing happens one step at a time. We’re continuing to pray for strength, comfort, and a full recovery so he can get back to school and back to being a kid.

At One Million Wells this is what means.

Showing up.
Praying together.
Encouraging one another.
Walking beside each other through both the hard moments and the hopeful ones.

Drop a hello, prayer, or encouraging message for Steven in the comments below so he knows his crew is standing with him.

Fresh food. Full hearts. Growing futures. Because of the support of people like you. The children at Kids Without a Crew are not only eating healthy meals… they’re learning how to grow their own food and build sustainable habits for the future.

This is the power of community-driven change:
Water starts flowing, bringing opportunities,
Food sustains them.
Community keeps them moving forward.

We believe real impact means creating systems that last for generations.

These smiles? This is what looks like.

Good news, Madam Kelly Snodgras ! 🥰 Because of your initiative, we are now having daily sauce from our own garden. Look at the children happily preparing fresh eggplants ! Thank you for teaching us to grow our own food. The children are eating healthy and learning too. We are so grateful. God bless you abundantly!

Six questions. One result.

Every well takes three kinds of people — the ones who donate it, the ones who drill it, and the ones who make everyone else pay attention to the need for it.

We built a quiz to help you find your spot. The answer might surprise you.

THANK YOU, JAKE.
This morning, Jake laced up and ran 13.1 miles for the — not for a medal, but for people who walk miles every day just to reach water.
Water is the starting line for everything — school, health, a future that doesn’t begin with a sunrise walk to find clean water.
Jake showed up. He ran. He turned his morning into someone else’s lifeline.
This is the power of one:
✅ One runner
✅ One mission
✅ One well at a time
Jake’s legs carried him 13.1 miles.
His impact? It travels oceans.
Your turn:
💧 Take the — share a fact that sinks in
💧 Run, walk, or move for water access
💧 Fund a well at sinkchallenge.org — $3,500 changes everything
Facts hit different when they’re tied to action. Jake proved it.
Thank you for showing us what the power of one in action looks like.

Meet the Inventor, RC Crawford at his church drilling a well. Take a walk with a gallon of water and film it, and post it. Or turn off your water for an hour and feel what it’s like to not have the ability to use water for an hour when you’re finished post about it or try brushing your teeth do Ugandan way, that’s what I call it with a small bottle of water and my toothbrush and post it.

One Million Wells trains local teams to drill their own wells. 1,000+ wells. 12 countries. $3,500 per well. 1,500+ people served. For life. You in?

A huge sinkhole and a missing village.
Nestled amidst towering green peaks lies a geological marvel that has puzzled historians and scientists alike—a vast and verdant sinkhole, so colossal that it once harbored a flourishing village on its precipice. But this breathtaking natural wonder holds a darker tale: the entire village vanished, leaving behind a tapestry of enigma and a landscape that echoes with the stories of a bygone era.
