Organization Profile
Wells for Relief International, Inc is a “not
for profit” corporation organized in the United States of America
with a mission to provide safe drinking water throughout the world.
The corporation’s goal is simple; alleviate the suffering of people
around the world caused by inadequate and unsafe water supplies.
Our projects are selected through detailed evaluations of need, probability
of locating an underground water source, and water quality. We use
a staff of skilled drinking water and water quality specialists from
America to work in unison with the appropriate local authorities and
experts to identify, design, build and maintain the water systems.
Wells for Relief International Inc. uses its funds to finance the
installation of the water project infrastructure as well as providing
continued maintenance and management of the site. We include a detailed
educational program for the local water system authorities so they
can responsibly maintain the water system, monitor the water quality,
evaluate future needs and have pride of ownership.
Our financial viability is controlled 100% by donations from around
the world. We don’t sell the water systems, we donate them. We expect
the local authorities, governments and benefactors of the water systems
to donate their resources as a partnership in the evaluation, design,
installation and maintenance of the system. Their expertise regarding
local water resources, geological data, quality of local road access
to sites, language interpretation, and knowledge of local laws governing
the operation of our company and water well drilling is essential
in making our projects a success.
Wells for Relief International Inc. uses water as a tool to help people
help themselves. We believe that assessable quality water is a major
foundation for peace and stability in the world. We’re dedicated to
alleviating the suffering of people around the world caused by inadequate
and unsafe water supplies, are you?

Name Change
Wells for Life International has now become
Wells for Relief International. Wells for Life was founded in 2004,
as a non-profit corporation and did not realize that another non-profit
company had been started with the same name in 2002. The other company
is based in Kansas and is currently funding water projects in India.
Wells for Life of Kansas had trade marked its’ name in 2006 and requested
we change our name so as not to confuse potential donors.
We decided that the long term benefit outweighed the short term inconvenience
of the name change, so we legally changed its’ name to Wells for Relief
International. Nothing else has changed in regards to the corporation
other than the name change.
