Choose a Village. Change Everything.
In rural Malawi, families have been forced to collect unsafe water from open pits shared with livestock. Your donation funds a complete freshwater well for a specific village, drilled, installed, and cared for locally, at a fraction of typical project cost. Each well can provide safe water for thousands of people in that village for decades, with an expected service life of about 75 years. Choose an available village below to get started.

Kajombo Village Well Project
Water scarcity in Kajombo Village has reached a critical and dangerous level. Residents are forced to walk 2 kilometers to fetch water from a shallow, hand-dug well that is shared by both people and livestock. This open water source produces murky, contaminated water that poses severe health risks to the entire community. A properly constructed borehole in Kajombo Village will serve more than 550 people, including students and staff at the nearby primary school. This well will provide clean, safe drinking water to replace the current dangerous water source, dramatically improving the overall health and well-being of residentsRegular price $1.00 USDRegular priceUnit price per -
Msese Village Well Project
Water scarcity in Msese Village has escalated to a critical and life-threatening level. Residents, including students and staff from the nearby primary school, are forced to walk 1.5 kilometers to fetch water from a shallow, hand-dug well that is shared by both people and livestock. The water obtained from this contaminated source is demonstrably unsafe for drinking and has made the area notorious for cholera outbreaks. This dire situation demands immediate intervention to prevent continued deadly waterborne disease crises affecting the entire community of over 700 people.Regular price $1.00 USDRegular priceUnit price per -

Chivinya Village Well Project
Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of a single donor couple, Kathy and Steve B., Chivinya now has a deep, cased borehole and hand pump delivering safe, clear water for drinking, cooking, washing, and basic hygiene. Water was struck and the borehole was drilled, cased, and completed in just one day, which is an unusually fast turnaround for a rural installation. The community no longer depends on open hand-dug holes in the ground, no longer shares water sources with livestock, and no longer has to collect visibly contaminated water for their children. Clean water is available in the village every day, for everyone. A community-led maintenance group has been established to monitor the pump, handle repairs, and ensure that this well remains reliable not just this season, but year after year, with an expected service life of approximately 75 years.Regular price $1.00 USDRegular priceUnit price per -

The Water of Mercy Difference
Why Your Generosity Goes Further and Creates Lasting Change
Maximum Efficiency, Proven Results
Our local partnerships allow us to drill complete wells for approximately half of what other water charities require. With 100% volunteer staff, we operate with minimal overhead. Our first well in Yotamu Village proved what's possible: for just $5,000, we delivered clean water to 400 people in 14 days. Recent wells in Chizani, Chivinya, Kabiza and Emvuyane were completed in 1-3 days from drilling to flowing water. Communities begin benefiting within days, not months, with wells serving them for approximately 75 years.
One Well, 75 Years, Hundreds of Families
When you fund a well that serves a village of hundreds today, you're not just helping one generation. You're transforming lives for approximately 75 years. Think about it: the babies born on the day your well is completed will grow up, raise their own children, and live to see their grandchildren, maybe even great-grandchildren, drawing clean water from that same well. Over three generations, hundreds of families—and the generations they raise—will be served by your single gift. The well you fund in 2025 will still be providing safe water in 2100, creating a permanent solution to water poverty and a legacy that continues blessing the community long into the future.
Focus on Malawi
Malawi is one of the world's most underserved nations for clean water infrastructure—and that's exactly why we focus here. This landlocked nation of 22 million ranks among the world's least developed countries, with 71% living in poverty and per capita income of just $622. Millions still walk kilometers daily for contaminated water from shallow wells shared with livestock. By concentrating our efforts in Malawi, we make the greatest impact where need is most acute.
Watch Your Impact in Real-Time
We don't just ask for donations—we connect you directly with the communities you're helping. You choose your specific village from detailed profiles complete with images, population data, and current water conditions. Then you can track real-time funding progress, follow construction through photos and videos, and witness the moment clean water flows in the village for the first time. This personal approach ensures you see exactly how your generosity creates lasting transformation, village by village.
