The Amazon Water Project

A project to dig wells for missionaries in the Amazon Basin.

Over 200 ethnic groups live scattered through the Amazon Basin. Many of these people groups have never heard the gospel. The closest church is often several days travel away through the jungle…

There is an effort underway to tell these peoples about God. Isolated and underdeveloped locations provide a challenge for ongoing ministry. So we provide clean water solutions to help keep missionaries healthy – so that they can continue to share the gospel!

Where we work

Indigenous live in protected land reservations which are remote and difficult to get to. We have used airplanes, helicopters, boats and trucks to transport portable well drilling equipment where others can’t get to.

What we do

We partner with local missionaries to dig wells. We fundraise for their well project and provide a platform for them to fundraise for a community project. Once appropriate permissions from tribal leaders and local governments has been given we come and dig the wells.

Maintenance

Water In The Amazon

The the abundance of water in the rainforest doesn’t exactly equate to clean drinking water.

Water Contamination

Finding and maintaining potable water sources is a challenge for most communities. Creeks and rivers are subject to many types of contamination from human waste, animals, and mining pollution.

2023 Drought

In 2023 the Amazon Rainforest suffered the worst drought in 121 years. Rivers dropped to lowest recorded levels and many creeks dried up. This left many communities without the water sources they depend on for survival

Water Scarcity

Despite being in a rainforest, many people live far from natural water sources. As Indigenous populations grow they distance themselves from community centers making water access more difficult.

Lack of equipment and Technology

Remote communities often lack experience and equipment to drill wells. Because of difficulty to access local governments struggle to provide wells for indigenous peoples across the Amazon jungle.
