About our cause

The MMM Shallow Well Program is one in which American volunteers work hand-in-hand with Africans to install shallow wells in remote villages in Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia. Each well costs only $400 and provides a safe, sustainable source of drinking water for a village of approx. 150 people. This program is a self-help program we only provide what the Africans cannot; the pipes, pump, cement, and skilled African labor. Also a community organized maintenance system insures sustainability.

What population we serve?

We serve the people of Africa, currently our efforts are focused on the people of Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia.

What success we've already had

We installed our very first Shallow Well in 1991. Since then we have installed over 16,225 wells, providing safe drinking water to over 2.4 million people.

Our primary mission
To show the love of God by working hand-in-hand with the African people to eliminate preventable water-borne disease by providing clean, safe, protected, sources of drinking water through the Shallow Well Program.
Why should you support our cause

Our program shows God's love by providing safe, protected, sustainable drinking water for the extreme poor in sub-Saharan Africa.
