Help Wells Of Life Save Lives With The Gift Of Clean Water

EVERY DROP MATTERS. EVERY SECOND COUNTS.

Wells of Life is a 501(c)(3) non-profit Christian organization whose mission is to provide rural Ugandans access to safe, clean water through the installation or restoration of sustainable borehole water wells and WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) educational programs. By committing your support for clean water, you give time, opportunity, education, and empowerment.

Aired September 18, 2022: Lisa Foxx talked to Wells of Life CEO Nick Jordan, who established the charity in 2008 and has remained dedicated to providing rural Ugandans access to safe, clean water. His goal is to fund and help over 1 million people and build 1000 wells. We discussed that goal and all the ways that folks can help more and more Ugandans have that access to clean water every day.
