Made 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) […]

To fulfill our vision of providing water to those without, we need a drilling rig in Kenya. An amazing opportunity has come up. A benefactor promised to donate $12,000 – if Wells for the World raises $18,000. This will allow us to install wells within a couple of months and start the clean, life-giving water flowing. Click on Donate to give. Please share and spread […]

Wells for the World was just a dream of mine 8 years ago, as I looked for a way to use my knowledge of hydrogeology to help others. However, after trying to connect with other organizations that saw a place for me and understood my vision for Wells for the World, I sort of gave up until 2013. In 2013, I met Rev. Matthew Maloney […]

As of August, Wells for the World (aka WftW or WFTW) has had a redesigned Website. This includes WordPress Blog capabilities, which I believe can be followed – so please do follow us on this blog and on Facebook. Bear with us as we work to refine the Website and all its features, and as we work to get our social media up to speed.

Wow, I purchased my malaria medicine last week and got extreme sticker shock! Almost $7.00 per pill! But if you don’t want to get Malaria, I guess you don’t have much of a choice. I had already spoken to my normal doctor and he said you would be stupid not to take the medicine because Malaria is nothing to fool around with, so I shelled out the […]

Our hope is to inspire an army of people to give $10 a month on a reoccurring (consistent) basis, so we can alleviate the suffering of people effected by the world water crisis! If 100 people gave $10 per month that would alleviate 133 people’s needless suffering each month! 1000 people giving $10 a month would alleviate $1,333 people’s suffering every month! Dream big people – we are! Please consider donating […]

We need help raising $18,000 to go along with the $12,000 already raised by a benefactor partnering with WftW. Our vision is to provide clean sustainable water to those without in Kenya utilizing this very modest drilling rig. But the simplicity of its operation is the key to our partnering with our Water Resources Users Association (WRUA) contacts in Kenya to install shallow wells. This will allow us […]

Quick Update – the Eastside COTN raised about $150 in the first month of their fundraiser – about half way to their goal of $300 – toward our well repair project south of Ewuaso (Kedong) Kenya! Again, most of the money is being raised 10 cents at a time via people bringing in pop/soda cans so they can be turned in for the MI deposit. Proof […]

Quick Update – I spoke to our benefactor yesterday and I was a little nervous that he might back out if we were not raising money quickly enough on our end, but he is sticking with us (because we have the technical knowledge and contacts in Kenya), so for the time being we continue to move forward! We still need help raising $18,000 to go […]

With World Water Day this Wednesday – we wanted to thank the Flint Eastside COTN for raising $235.02 during their fundraiser toward our well repair project south of Ewuaso (Kedong) Kenya! Again, much the money was raised 10 cents at a time via pop/soda bottle returns. Proof that lots of people doing a little bit each can accomplish great things! We are impressed by the people in Flint reaching out to […]
