In Zambia's Copperbelt region, mining pollution has left communities without safe drinking water. Families face daily health risks and long walks for contaminated sources. Living Wells Ministry is changing that by raising funds to drill sustainable, solar-powered wells and sharing the hope of the Gospel, the true Living Water (John 4:14).Our first project: A solar borehole and water tank at Faith Baptist Church in Itimpi, Zambia.
- Provides clean water for ~150 people daily and up to 1,000 weekly.- Creates a gathering point for the local church to reach over 1,400 people each week with faith and encouragement.- Total cost: $5,114—fully transparent, tax-deductible giving.Our 501(c)(3) nonprofit status (EIN: 39-4893144) confirms our commitment to integrity, sustainability, and tangible impact. Born from real mission trip experience, we partner with local churches in Zambia, like Faith Baptist, to meet both physical and spiritual needs.

Clean water is now a reality for that church and community, and doors are open to share the Gospel more deeply.We are keeping the same Givebutter campaign open so all donations stay together. We are now raising funds for our second solar well in a new location currently being scouted in Zambia.New Goal: $12,000

Our Story:
Living Wells Ministry was born from a powerful mission trip to Zambia. Seeing firsthand the desperate need for clean water amid mining pollution and the open doors it creates to share God's love, our founder felt called to do more. Partnering with Zambian locals and their church leaders, we launched this nonprofit to raise funds in order to provide sustainable water solutions while pointing people to the eternal Living Water found in Christ.Our Mission:
Deliver clean, life-giving water through solar-powered wells in underserved Zambian communities, while integrating Gospel outreach to foster lasting spiritual and physical transformation.Our Vision:
See communities in the Copperbelt region flourish with safe water access and renewed hope in Jesus.What Makes Us Different:
We focus on dual impact:
- Practical: Solar boreholes that are low-maintenance and community-owned.
- Spiritual: Wells placed at or near churches to naturally draw people for fellowship, Bible study, and evangelism.
- Inspired by Scripture: "With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation" (Isaiah 12:3).Our Commitment:
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN: 39-4893144), we ensure 100% transparency – donations go directly to projects, with regular updates on progress. We work hand-in-hand with trusted local partners like Faith Baptist Church in Itimpi.Get Involved:
