Meet Paul Brown

Volunteer, Trained using OMW methods, Donor-1st International Well Sponsor and 1st International Fundraiser! Walking Across 12+ Countries in Africa to End the Water Crisis

In an inspiring journey to bring global awareness to the 2.2 billion people without access to clean water, Paul Brown, a former U.S. military service member, is set to walk across 12+ countries in Africa over the next two years. This incredible mission not only aims to shed light on the world’s water crisis but also empowers communities along the way to create sustainable solutions.

Equipped with the Crawford Drill—our 2018 Patents for Humanity Award-winning technology— Paul will train locals in select areas water drilling techniques, enabling them to drill wells and build a future where clean water is accessible to all.

“This journey is about more than just raising awareness. It’s about inspiring action and providing tools for lasting change,” said Paul Brown. “God’s love and service guide me every step of the way.”

Follow this life-changing journey and be part of the movement. Updates, stories, and ways to get involved will be shared on our social media platforms and website.
