People Effected by Flint Water Crisis Support Others in World Water Crisis!

20150529_054842Made a Wells for the World presentation at the Flint Eastside Church of the Nazarene on January 22, 2017. I’m excited that this inner city church, whose people have their own water crisis, are supporting our well repair project in Ewuaso (Kedong), Kenya. This little inner city church has challenged their congregation to raise $300 by bring in pop/soda cans (worth $0.10 each in Michigan) and change, and the church will match $ for $ their contributions. WftW needs to raise $7,500 to replace the pump in this purported 1,100 ft (350 m) deep well south of Ewuaso, and conduct a 24-hour pumping test and 20-hour recovery test, install a new flow meter, permit the well, and place it back into service. People near the well have to walk 8.5 miles (one way) to get water from the next available source. Once repaired, the well could provide about 1,600 people with clean, sustainable drinking water!

Hydrogeologist and the Founder of Wells For The World, Inc., with 27 years experience, for years has envisioned establishing a charity to provide those without access to clean drinking water the resources they need to not only sustain their lives, but to allow them to flourish and reach their full potential. I have performed hydrogeologic investigations at hundreds of sites and specialize in the review and interpretation of hydrogeologic data to determine groundwater flow characteristics and have designed or helped design dozens of groundwater extraction systems. WFTW Inc., is where I can share my love for hydrogeology, my love for people and my love for faith by providing those without access to clean water a “cup of cold water."
