Clean Water Wells in India
Clean water wells in India are how we serve Dalit villages that larger systems skip. Moreover, much of our work is focused on brining clean water to the forgotten communities. Families should not walk miles for water that makes them sick.
We drill borewells. We also support sanitation and hygiene so the water stays useful.
Why these villages still wait
Overall, bringing clean water to the forgotten in these villages is our passion. In India, borewells are a common way to reach underground water. However, many small Dalit communities still sit outside government help. They are easy to overlook. Therefore they stay thirsty with unclean water sources.
One Body Ministries steps into that gap. We believe a small village is not too small.
How clean water wells in India get built
First, local partners help name the village and the need. Then a rig goes in and a borewell is drilled. After that, the well is plumbed so people can draw safe water.
As a result, one well can serve a community for years. In addition, better water supports sanitation and dignity.
This is the WASH piece of One Body Ministries programs. Meals and school supplies help the same families. See hunger relief in India and the Building Dreams education program. Furthermore, our goal includes brining clean water to the forgotten where it is most needed.
What we have drilled so far
To date we have completed 4 clean water wells in India. Our goal is one new well each month.
