WHO WE ARE

The Guatemala Well Project is an endeavor of volunteers working on behalf of International Children’s Care. Its purpose is to drill wells to provide clean drinking water to the ICC orphanage facilities in Guatemala and to the surrounding villages.

The means of accomplishing this task are in hand. A donated drill rig was shipped to Guatemala and in 2005 was used to drill 4 wells which serve a population of nearly 700 students and staff at the ICC facilities in Guatemala. In December 2005 a container of 42,000 lbs. of equipment, including a well service truck was shipped in preparation for the 2006 drilling efforts. In December 2006 another rig and two pickups were shipped and are now in Guatemala to be used for this purpose.

The Guatemala Well Project seeks funds and volunteers to continue, support and expand these efforts.  Although the project has received the blessings of much donated equipment and supplies, there are cables, pipes, well casing, drill bits, pumps, electrical control boxes, wire and other essential gear which must be purchased and shipped.

It is the intention of the volunteers to continue and expand the well drilling efforts in rural Guatemala. The need there is almost overwhelming. The people depend on contaminated water for all their needs. Every village in the area is desperately in need of the clean water which is only 300 feet beneath them. Acute diarrheal illness from amoeba and e-coli are major and pervasive health issues. Our objective is to impact this problem as God gives us strength and resources to so do.  We seek your assistance.
