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.

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?

Another organization has donated money for our personnel, cups, printing, mailing, and other costs of The H2O Project. 100% of the money you donate goes right to the organizations that are conducting the well-drilling.

What if I forget and drink a soda?

No problem. Just start again.

Why can't you send your contribution directly to The H2O Project?

We don't dig wells. We exist to help you support other charitable organizations that provide life-saving clean water where it is needed most. But please, send us your feedback. We want to know what you raised and what
you learned.
