What is a Water Neighborhood and Who/How does it benefit?
This History of One Million Wells
This video shows the development of a well in Pipili, India. The well was completed to a depth of 54 ft and a diameter of 8 inches. The well was drilled in 1.5 days and labor and materials cost 238 US dollars. The well output at development is about 90 GPM and the use of the well will be for irrigation.
This is a video of a “proof of concept” reverse flow drill used in El Paso. The hole was through large gravel and the drill brought up a large stone 4.5 inches by 9.5 inches through the drill stem.
What is a Water Neighbor and Who is This One Benefiting?
Comparison of USAID methods and OMW methods
Where there is water there is joy! This video is of children playing in the water just moments after we concluded drilling a well in Guatemala. The first time this little boy has ever felt water in his face like this.
How bad is the worldwide crisis of lack of clean water and what makes our method game-changing?
This shows what a well drilled in Guatemala accomplished. The narrator is Harvey Falconer, our Director of Central American Operations and Director for I58. I58’s goal is to accelerate the end of poverty in Guatemala through empowering people by teaching them skills and practices applicable to their environment.
What is Jet Sludging?
This is a video of the drilling of a water well for an orphanage 2.5 hours into the African bush. The well is for an orphanage in Zimbabwe and will furnish water for irrigation and the raising of chickens that are consumed in the orphanage and sold outside the orphanage. The person leading the drilling team is an Engineer at the Harare Institute of Technology and built the drill and air compressor at the University facilities.
CHANGE A LIFE TODAY
We know it physically is impossible for the small – but growing – team at One Million Wells to do it alone. So, to realize that goal and to achieve our mission, we need your help! Please share this printable .pdf with your friends and family to help us serve these sweet children in Uganda!
