Fresh water saves lives!
Andhra Pradesh is in a drought prone region. More often than not, it is the woman and children who have to walk up to 12 km to collect sufficient water, which is often dirty and unsafe. Not only is water a health issue, but it is also a gender and economic one. With the development of clean water wells in the centre of villages, children are more likely to attend school, woman work a job, not to mention health benefits, all increase.
Water is an important resource and one cannot live without it.
More than 1.8 million children under the age of five die each year from illness associated with contaminated drinking water. Primary diseases contracted from unclean drinking water include cholera, diarrhoea, typhoid, roundworm, hepatitis and dysentery.
It is estimated that over 80% of India's population does not have access to clean drinking water.
In India, most life-threatening disease stems from impure drinking water which is collected from ponds, canals, and rice paddies – the same water used for bathing, laundry, and watering cattle. A fresh-water well is a gift to people of all castes. It is thirst quenching clean water.
This reality is especially true for rural villages. In Andhra Pradesh, a mostly rural Indian state, there are over 3,000 villages without a water source! Rural Indian women spend an average of four hours a day collecting and purifying drinking water. According to The World Health Organisation, India's water shortage is expected to worsen in the coming years.
There are some villages facing water scarcity. In summer this problem is particularly bad. Most villages do not have bore wells, to bring water they have to walk between 1 and 5 kilometres. We can provide them a bore well in the public places as a gift of Jesus, with the possibility to win them for the Lord’s kingdom.

A water well has the capacity to provide 2 000 people with access to clean water and prevent water-borne illnesses.
Our first water well July 2013 provided Rellipeta village people with access to clean water.
We have drilled 11 wells in 11 impoverished village regions
These wells were drilled in extremely impoverished regions, Padmanabhanm area of India where people desperately needed
access to clean water.
The cost of each well is $2000.00 AUD
A donation makes a big difference to those without water
A water well is an excavation or structure created in the ground by boring, or drilling to access underground water.
The well water is drawn by a pump.
Wells can vary greatly in depth, water volume, and water quality.
