One Million Wells in India
Well #250 completed in India! To mark this milestone, this well has been named in honor of One Million Wells’ founder, R.C Crawford. Thank...
Our mission is to empower others with the technology and training to drill for water themselves, who then can pass that knowledge to others – and grow exponentially the number of water wells drilled. We are a radical charity that is willing to share our technology to provide water access to people around the world – and we measure our success through innovation, implementation, and impact.
Through patented technology and continuous innovations, One Million Wells has created a cost-effective method for drilling water wells. This method is significantly cheaper to build and more effective in accessing water. Co-founder and inventor of the patented drill, R.C. Crawford, spends hours each day in his workshop in Texas working on drill enhancements, alternate power sources, and tools that will make the process even easier.
Getting cost-efficient drilling equipment and proper training to the areas most in need is the primary goal of One Million Wells. After testing its innovative drilling technique in Texas and Mexico in 2015, One Million Wells began drilling wells in communities around the world in early 2016. And we constantly are reaching out and identifying other communities that can benefit.
The water delivery program has reached an impressive 76% completion rate
Every contribution brings us closer to providing clean water to communities in need
One Million Wells strives to make a positive impact, and the importance of having access to water is so key in improving the lives of millions. Water access significantly improves agricultural output, and shows to be effective in solving famine and disease facing so many. To date, One Million Wells has drilled over 770 water wells in 11 countries. Our map page shows the coordinates for some wells drilled so far, but there is much more work to do.
