BECOME A PARTNER![]() Do you want to help someone? Do you want to make a difference in the life of a child? Help us bring the blessing of pure water to people of Guatemala. You can be used by God to bless these lovely people.
Guatemala Well Project is an endeavor of volunteers working to provide clean water to the people in rural Guatemala. The project began as an effort to solve a contaminated water problem at an orphanage and secondary school operated by International Children’s Care of Vancouver Washington. The ICC facilities consist of Los Pinos, the orphanage campus housing 150 plus children in 10 homes and ICAP the secondary school campus with 400 students. The river water upon which the institutions had depended for many years became polluted and during times of low river levels the water was dangerous to drink. One child nearly died from amoeba infection. As protection from this danger the schools purchased bottled water in great quantities but every tap was a potential source of serious illness. It is hard to care for children and run a school under such circumstances.
Into this crisis came the Bartholomew family of Spokane Washington. Through the grace of God and the strength and dedication of this family, over several years, the campuses were plumbed with 4,000 ft. of four inch sewage line and 9,000 ft. of two inch water line. After the expensive failure of a local driller, they sought the help of others in their industry. As God spoke to the hearts of the people who listened, a kind Christian donated a drilling rig. It was shipped to Guatemala, and is used to drill wells. In addition, another rig has been donated and shipped as well as a Pump Service Truck and two pickups for support.
We need people willing to support the effort with their time and energy. We need money to purchase casing, pumps and electrical supplies and drilling tools and fuel for the rig. In exchange for the help, we offer a life changing experience. To see and know that you have made a difference in the life of someone, to see the joy and wonder on the faces of the people as they realize that here is water pouring from the ground that they can drink without danger of illness, to see and know that the money and the time you give really does change a life.
