140 Clean-Water Wells Drilled -- and Counting!

By Rick Carlton | Founder and Managing Director

The 33 wells we spotlighted in our February, 2025 report on SevaChild's water well project have now been completed and made operational. In fact, we are in the process of drilling the next 26 wells!

As mentioned in the past, the rural villagers who will benefit from the clean, safe water acquired from these deep well sources have been suffering under the dangerous and challenging burden of attempting to secure water from seriously-contaminated ponds shared with wild animals -- and many have paid with their very lives.

SevaChild is intent on eradicating the hazards and obstacles faced by India's rural and tribal populations, and potable water is an excellent place to begin. Thus far, SevaChild has drilled and made operational 140 wells in some of the most at-risk communities in rural India! A well costs $1950 to construct; as completed, it features a pump, cement platform, and a floodlight to ward off uninvited nighttime predators.

Situated on the Bay of Bengal, India is uniquely positioned for vulnerability with respect to meteorological phenomena, prominent among which are monsoonal rains.  Nevertheless, SevaChild works around such extreme weather events, plugging away until the goal has been achieved. We are
intent on eradicating the hazards and obstacles faced by India's rural and tribal populations, and potable water is an excellent place to begin. As we are all well aware, water is life!
