We Drilled 300 Feet Underground for Clean Water

Welcome to Episode 1 of MISSION: WATER, our new 4-part docuseries following the story of bringing clean water to an orphanage and school in Uganda. We're officially on-site in Maya, Uganda. In this episode, we take you behind the scenes of our 5-day countdown to build a sustainable, solar-powered water system for an orphanage of 200+ children and the surrounding village. Our goal is to raise $10,000 to finish this clean water system and give clean, safe water to thousands more people. $1 gives water to 1 person and makes a huge impact on their lives. Donate to join us and bring clean and safe water to everyone: 👉: https://www.anitaandtim.com/uganda2026 In this episode, you'll see the engineering reality of drilling a massive 92-meter deep bore hole, installing a solar pump, and partnering with the local community to make it last for decades. We also chat with Rita, the school’s head teacher, who shares what this project truly means for the future of these kids. 📺 Watch the full MISSION: WATER docuseries:    • MISSION: WATER | Clean Water for an Orphan...   — About One Drop Global — One Drop Global is a humanitarian organization dedicated to ending the global water crisis by designing and installing sustainable, safe clean water infrastructure in communities that need it most.
