Our mission is to drill wells thereby providing rural Guatemalan communities with a sustainable fresh water supply.

Wells of Hope has purchased water well drilling equipment which will be driven to Guatemala next fall by a team of drilling volunteers. The drilling equipment is currently in operation in Niagara to assist with the financing of the operation. The cost of one well is approximately $10 000 although all donations will be greatly appreciated. Sponsors of a well will be recognized on a brass plate attached to the base of the well. This project will bring clean water to villages which will improve the health of the people, enable the successful growth of crops, decrease hunger, decrease the mortality rate and also train Guatemalans for future drilling of wells.

Wells of Hope Niagara will make a difference! Please be a part of the success. The team leader, Ted van der Zalm, has ten years of drilling experience in East Africa as a volunteer. Ted has recently returned from six months in Guatemala where he partnered with the local NGO and Guatemalan water department. The project includes the construction of a water holding tank, delivery of water to each household within the villages and eventually the implementation of water irrigation systems for crop production.
