He was sick and hopeless until the Jesus Well came

Laul's days relentlessly passed by as his illness stole away his livelihood and plunged his family into poverty.

Digging a Well: Uprooting Discouragement

When Laul got sick with a waterborne illness, typhoid fever, he lost his livelihood and couldn't provide for his five kids. He even sold everything he owned. But none of the doctors he visited could heal him. None of the treatments he underwent helped. Nothing he did could bring him back to good health. Laul even rejected anyone praying for him.

Then their village received a Jesus Well that provided them with fresh, clean water—and it changed Laul's life in more ways than one.

World Water Day - March 22
In the last three years, GFA and its affiliates have installed more than 18,500 Jesus Wells, which can provide clean water for more than 5.5 million people for many years. But the need is even greater.

A Jesus Well costs $1,400 and serves an average of 300 people. That means as little as $5 can be enough to provide one person with water for 20 years! With your help, we can keep installing wells to provide continuous clean water for those in need.

Clean Water Impacts Ramila, Her Three Children and Her Entire Village


Clean Water for an Entire Village

"We were not able to maintain proper cleanliness due to water scarcity, but after this well was installed in our village, my children could take a bath every day. It was not only me who faced a water problem, but the entire village. I express my thanks to the people who provided this water source."
—Ramila
See their Jesus well.

Giving a Jesus Well Was a Privilege for Hank


A Jesus Well for Hank

"I've seen and read so many stories of the daily trials people go through. . . Hours of every day spent hauling water that often is so dirty it makes the people ill. This just shouldn't be. It's heartbreaking. ... I know [the Lord] would like to see everyone have something as basic as clean water, so a [Jesus Well] seemed a good thing."
—Hank from Florida
