It takes 350 drops to drill a well.
$10 a month. 350 of us. A new well every single month.
A well costs $3,500 and serves 300+ people for life. Split it 350 ways and it's ten dollars — one skipped lunch. That's the entire idea.
↑ that one's youThey already did their part.
This isn't charity dropped from the sky. It's a partnership that's already halfway finished.
Right now, families in the villages we serve collect drinking water from open rivers and ponds — the same water animals wade through. One in four people on Earth still drinks water like that.
One-time gifts drill one-time wells, and we love them. But monthly giving drills wells on a schedule instead of on a hope. It's the difference between rain and a river.
That's Drop by Drop: a crew of ordinary people giving a little every month, together, until predictable clean water becomes somebody's normal.
Four ways to show up.
Change or cancel anytime — no phone calls, no guilt, all impact.
One of the 350 drops that funds a well every month. Small looks different when 349 people show up beside you.
Join at $10Two drops in one. 175 Streams drill a well every month — and a year of yours covers a village's full field kit.

Takes about sixty seconds. No page-hopping, no account required.
Clean water for 300+ more people, month after month, from a crew of ordinary humans skipping one lunch. Rivers are just drops that agreed to keep showing up.

Fair questions, straight answers.
Where does my money actually go?
Drilling wells. $3,500 covers one complete well — materials, the local drilling crew and the pump. One Million Wells trains and equips local teams, so your money builds skills in-country, not just hardware.
Can I cancel or change my amount?
Anytime, in about a minute, no questions asked. We'd rather have you at $10 for years than $35 for one stressful month.
Is this tax-deductible?
Yes. One Million Wells is a 501(c)(3) public charity, EIN 82-1963744. Your gifts are deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
How will I know it's working?
Drop by Drop members get the quarterly Well Report — photos and updates straight from the field. Real villages, real pumps, real people. You'll see exactly what your drops became.
What if I'd rather give once?
Completely welcome, and it still drills. Monthly just lets us schedule crews and order materials ahead instead of waiting to see what comes in. If one-time fits your life better, choose the one-time option in the form above.
Bricks stacked, sites cleared, crews trained. The only thing missing is the drilling — and drilling runs on a crew that shows up every month.
