About Wells of Life
Wells of Life exists to solve the world water crisis, one well at a time. We were founded in 2008 with a commitment to bring clean water to one million people by 2020 with the funding of 1,000 water wells. We have worked closely with Fields of Life and witnessed the tremendous lifesaving work they have been doing since 1995 in many areas including Health Education and bringing the gospel message to thousands in Uganda. Wells of Life holds the committed belief that the tap root of poverty is lack of clean water. We focus exclusively on raising both awareness and needed funding to provide communities with the gift of clean water. We work alongside Fields of Life who own and operate the drilling equipment and who drill the water wells. Based in Laguna Beach, we received our own charitable status earlier this year (2012).
We are focused on three main areas: corporations, schools and families. We see all three as spanning a bridge of human awareness that will grow our outreach into all areas of the community around us. By providing a water well and dedicating it in the donor's name, we make this one of the most personal and most measurable gifts possible. A water well offers the gift of life to a community that lacks clean water. With clean water this community can begin to grow into a self sustainable community. Everything begins with clean water and with it, anything is possible.
In the future we hope to arrange for trips to Uganda so donors can see first-hand the miracles their donations bring about every day. It is our mission to create a world where each person has access to water as a basic human right. With your help we can accomplish this. Please join us today!
The mission of Wells of Life is to fund the drilling of 1,000 wells in ten years for the people of East Africa. Our primary goal is to help solve the water dilemma (1,000,000,000 people lack clean water) one well at a time.
In January 2007, I met Rev. Trevor Stevenson, CEO of Fields of Life, at a hotel in Dublin, Ireland. The meeting took place to introduce a donor who was willing to fund the drilling of a number of water wells. Our meeting discussed expanding the work of Fields of Life to providing clean water as an integral part of the work they do in East Africa. This donor made a large anonymous donation and what emerged from this meeting changed my life and can change yours, too. Having worked with Fields of Life since 2005, I knew firsthand the dedication of the organization and the great success it had in providing over 100 communities with new school buildings. The gift of education is very close to my heart having once been a grade school teacher in Dublin, Ireland.
