The Water Since 2004, Wine To Water has provided clean water access to more than 300,000 people in over 18 countries around the world. We are committed to eradicating the water crisis through the generous support of our donors and volunteers. Wine To Water focuses on sustainable water and sanitation initiatives that provide lasting benefits to those in need. Wine To Water will provide access to clean water and sanitation in many different ways depending on the local needs, resources, and situation. This can be done through the repairing of wells, digging of new wells, installing rain-water harvest tanks, and providing hygiene and sanitation systems. The fact is, there is no life without water. Your support has and will continue to save the lives of many.
Our Wine To Water Community Jesus’ first miracle was turning water into wine at a wedding. This miraculous but simple gift allowed the community to continue in celebration. Our community provides those who are fortunate with the opportunity to celebrate life through the gift of clean water.

Amazon Well In remote areas of Colombia, Peru, and Brazil, there are many jungle villages along the Amazon river where water-borne illnesses are a daily struggle for the local population. In order to reach these remote locations, your donations allow us to transport a compact drilling machine by canoe to where it is most needed. Well drilling is done on protected ground where clean water is safe from periodic river flooding. In addition to well drilling, your donations support rainwater catchment, water filtration, and sanitation initiatives, as well. These efforts greatly reduce the risk of waterborne illnesses for the local population and indigenous peoples of the region. Cost per well: $5,000 Share the Cost: $500

Your support has helped Wine To Water reach 4,830 people with clean water through our Ugandan Rainwater Harvest Tank project.
Item 7
Ugandan Rainwater Harvest Tank Your donations support schools and other community service centers with rainwater harvest tanks. Each 15,000 liter tank is built on site using specialized bricks made entirely of local materials. This green technology requires no firing or fuel, as opposed to traditionally made brick that contributes to the heavy deforestation of Africa. These tanks are stronger, longer lasting, and one third the price of standard imported plastic tanks, proving to be a sustainable clean water solution in Africa. Ugandan Rainwater Harvest Tank: $2,000 Share the Cost: $200
