Questions
Where does my gift go?
Your gift is received by Wisdom For Asia Ministries, Inc., a 501(c)(3) public charity, and designated to Breakthrough Water. Gifts are combined to complete the next village well and the field work that goes with it.
How much does a well cost?
The cost depends on the depth, the ground and the kind of system a village needs. Every gift helps. To sponsor a complete well, write to us at hello@breakthroughwater.org and we’ll share the current amount.
Will I receive a receipt?
Yes. Wisdom For Asia sends an email thank-you after each gift. Gifts from U.S. donors are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, and a yearly giving statement is available on request.
Who does the work on the ground?
Trusted local partners confirm each village’s need with community and local government leaders. Experienced drilling companies drill the well, and our team follows every project through to completion.
What happens if a pump breaks?
Each well is handed over to the community and the local government, who care for it day to day. Communities often handle minor repairs, and when a significant problem is reported, we work to help resolve it.
Can I sponsor a well in someone’s honor, or as a company or group?
Yes. Write to us, and we’ll arrange the details, including the name on the well’s plaque.
Do the wells serve everyone in the village?
Yes. Every well is a shared source of water for the whole community.
What your gift supports
From Drilling to a Shared Water Source
Your gift supports the field work required to bring a local water source into use. Depending on the setting, that may include a village well or a school water-distribution system using a pump, storage tank, pipes, and taps.
Every project is grounded in a real place and documented through field records and authentic photographs.

Sponsorship and recognition
Complete-Well Sponsorship and Recognition
If you want to sponsor a complete village well or dedicate one in honor or memory of someone, contact Team Breakthrough Water so the details can be coordinated directly.
With your permission, your name or the name of someone you are honoring can appear on the plaque at the well. If you prefer not to be named, the plaque reads: Sponsored by a Friend of Wisdom For Asia.
For companies, clubs, schools, and groups. A complete well makes a lasting shared project for a team, a civic club, a class, or a congregation. Write to us at hello@breakthroughwater.org. We’ll share the current amount and help you plan it, including the wording on the well’s plaque.
Many employers match their employees’ gifts. Ask your employer whether yours does, or write to us for help.
We never publish a donor list or donation records.
