Rather than relying on temporary aid, the organization focuses on long-term sustainability by equipping local teams with the tools, skills, and knowledge needed to build and maintain water systems themselves. Through education, hands-on training, and practical drilling programs, One Million Wells helps communities create lasting access to safe water, improving health, economic opportunity, and quality of life for generations.]]></description><link>https://www.onemillionwells.org/theripple</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Wed, 15 Apr 2026 20:50:01 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://www.onemillionwells.org/blog-feed.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><item><title><![CDATA[Our 1st African Well of 2026]]></title><description><![CDATA[Clean water changes everything. These giggles, these splashes, these first real drinks of clean water—this is what hope looks like. For some of these children, this is the first time they’ve ever tasted truly clean water. One well. One community. Over 2,000 people now have access to the only clean water source available to them. In just 30 minutes, this well produced over 300 liters of life, health, and possibility. This well was started just before all communication across Uganda was cut—and...]]></description><link>https://www.onemillionwells.org/post/our-1st-african-well-of-2026</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c825c4af19906fa1780dd5</guid><pubDate>Sat, 28 Mar 2026 19:03:25 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c280e0_42dfb55854ab42a3b8e6b0547edba747~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_810,h_882,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator></dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[OMW broke ground]]></title><description><![CDATA[During one of our drilling and training trips to Uganda in 2022 OMW visited Transform the Needy Child (TTNC) orphanage.

I was born and raised in Kiige, a small, poor village in Uganda—one of 18 children in a family that worked hard for every meal and every opportunity. My father, though he never finished school, was a very smart and humble man. What he lacked in money, he made up for in values. He was a peasant, mostly growing cassava and corn, and sometimes took odd jobs—like digging up the special grass used for thatching roofs—to help support our big family.
