How much does it cost to dig a well?
The cost varies greatly depending on how deep and through
what sort of rock or soil the well must be dug, but it is
as little as $1,500. When you divide the cost of
a well by the number of people who use it, the average cost
is about $10 per person.
What if I have to drink milk?
By all means, do so. But if you can give up milk for 2
weeks, that might be another several dollars toward the
saving of another life.
What if I usually buy bottled water?
Buy one. Then just for 2 weeks inconvenience yourself by
continuing to refill it.
How do I select which well drilling organizations
to support?
If you already have one in mind that isn't listed below, that's
fine with us. Otherwise, click on any of the organizations
below for more information.

Water/Drilling Organizations:
Can I keep drinking my usual stuff, but just make a donation?
That's OK. It will still help the needy, but you will miss
out on the experience of sacrificing for others, and that's
a big part of The H2O Project.
How much of the money goes to fund the expenses of the
H2O project?100% of the money you donate goes right to the organizations that are conducting the well-drilling. If you’d like to contribute to The H2O Project, please see below.
Can I donate directly to The H2O Project?
Yes! If you would like to defray the cost of supplies, we’d love for you to do so. (It costs us about $0.25 per person.) Just write on the memo line of your check, “H2O Supplies.” Please consider making this a separate contribution above and beyond what your 2 week sacrifice generated.
What if I forget and drink a soda?
No problem. Just start again.
