Statement of Faith:

“I am a baptized and confirmed Roman Catholic Christian.”

Why I work with MMM:

“To make some contribution in alleviating people's suffering through provision of safe and clean water sources”
Community Involvement & Personal Achievements as a Field Officer:
What is the impact of the Shallow Well Program?
  • Better, closer and safer water sources
  • Decrease in waterborne disease like cholera.
Why is the Shallow Well Program successful?

Because people are able to understand that clean drinking water is essential to our lives and community involvement through participatory efforts which enhance sustainability.

What is the Future of the Shallow Well Program and why is your support so important?

The future is bright as people themselves assume ownership of the program by contributing local resources, maintenance of pumps and care of the facilities.

Future needs include:

How you can help:

  • Support a Field Officer: $12,000/year (this includes salary, fuel, food & lodging while working in the rural areas)
  • Pray for the Field Officers and the Shallow Well Program.
  • Tell others about MMM and its programs.
