Water Crisis

We helped a concerned home owner today with her filtration system she uses to filter her City of Flint water. She is concerned about volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including those created in the chlorination processing of the water (trihalomethanes for instance) and would also like to reduce sediment, heavy metals, and potentially bacteria in the water. She only has a two stage filtration system, limiting the options, so we eliminated the […]

Wells for the World invites you to be a life changer by making a tax deductible donation in honor of World Water Day 2017! Wells for the World estimates that it costs approximately $7.50 to change an individual’s life that lacks access to the clean sustainable drinking water they so desperately need.

World Water Day is this Wednesday, March 22, 2017, consider supporting one of our two current water projects: 1) our well repair project, or 2) our drilling rig purchase project on behalf of all those suffering due to the lack of clean drinking water.

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 […]
