Who We Are
We are driven to share clean, safe water.
Give Me Water Lord (GMWL) is a non-profit Christian mission founded on faith and compassion, dedicated to bringing clean, disease-free water and hope to communities in Kenya.

What We Do, Our Mission.

Our Mission
- To drill wells in desperate areas where clean water is otherwise impossible to find.
- To provide sustainable, life-saving access to water for both people and animals.
- To support children and families with food, goats, school sponsorships, and spiritual nourishment.
- To uplift local churches and schools by making them the central point of water and hope for their communities.
Why Water?
- Many Kenyan communities are forced to dig deep holes with bare hands in dry riverbeds just to collect water.
- Women and children spend hours daily fetching contaminated water, leading to illness, malnutrition, and missed education.
- Droughts can last for years, leaving families without hope.
One well can transform an entire community.
What We Do
✅ Water Wells – Drilling up to 800 feet through granite to provide lasting clean water.
✅ Community Projects – Goat donations, food distribution, school sponsorship, and child feeding programs.
✅ Faith & Hope – Providing Bibles, supporting churches, and encouraging Christian fellowship.
✅ Empowering Communities – Local people participate by building well houses, collecting stones, and maintaining wells.
