Wells not only provide water for everyday use but they can also be used as an entry point into the community. By providing access to clean water, wells can help to break down barriers and promote fellowship and relationships between people.

This is especially crucial in refugee camps, where there is often a great deal of suspicion and tension. In recent years, the number of people suffering from water-related diseases has risen drastically in the northern part of Uganda. The problem is caused by the fact that people are not using a water well to their advantage. Through wells, church planters are able to help break down these barriers and start the process of rebuilding trust and friendship. Drilling wells is an invaluable tool in the fight against the water crisis in Uganda!

The Water Crisis in Uganda

Water is essential for life, and yet it is in short supply in many parts of the world. This has helped spur church planting and growth in Uganda, where people no longer have to worry about dehydration or illness. Thanks to the well-drilling program, thousands of lives have been changed for the better. In Uganda, there is a water crisis due to the high demand for irrigation in agriculture. Amigos partnered with drilling wells to provide clean drinking water for churches and schools. This has helped to bring the gospel to thousands of people who would otherwise not have had access to it.

The Importance of Church Planting in Uganda

Church planting is a great way to provide infrastructure and help improve the lives of people in Uganda. By partnering with local churches, mission agencies are able to reach even more people in need. Not only this, but church planting also enables church plants to bring clean water and other essential resources to rural areas. Drilling wells are a crucial part of this, as they provide water and other essential resources to rural areas that would otherwise be unreachable. This is helping to make church planting successful in Uganda and is one of the many reasons why it is such a valuable endeavor.

Drilling Wells for Church Planting in Uganda

Church planting in Uganda has taken a major step forward thanks to the work of Amigos Water4Life program. These wells provide clean water and prevent the spread of disease, which is vital for the health and well-being of church members and missionaries. Additionally, they help connect isolated villages with the outside world, allowing church members and missionaries to reach more people with God’s love. With your help, Drilling Wells is committed to helping churches plant in Uganda and bring the gospel to new communities. Please donate today to help make a difference!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the process for finding and installing a well in Uganda?

Finding and installing wells in Uganda can be a time-consuming and complex process, but with the help of an experienced professional team, it can be done successfully. Here are the four main steps involved in finding, drilling, installing, and maintaining wells in Uganda: 1. Obtain permission from the local authorities – well drilling is an important part of church planting, so getting the proper permissions from the relevant government agencies is essential. 2. Plan the work carefully – well drilling can cause environmental damage if not done properly, so it’s important to plan the work carefully before actually starting it. 3. Execute the work diligently – during well drilling, there is a lot of noise and explosions, which can be dangerous for both people working on site and the local community. Make sure to take all safety precautions while drilling. 4. Monitor the well regularly – once a well has been installed, it will likely require regular maintenance to ensure its long-term success. Make sure to keep an eye on the well’s water level, water quality, and any signs of water contamination.

Can wells also be used to provide water supplies to villages in Uganda?

Wells can be used to provide clean drinking water to villages in Uganda by helping stimulate economic growth and reduce poverty levels. Proper well construction is essential for optimum results, so help from NGOs or local churches may be required. Drilling wells also provides jobs and stimulates economic growth in the area by creating new businesses. By working together, NGOs, churches, and government officials can successfully deploy well drilling as an effective tool for village improvement. Well-drilling can provide water supplies to villages that lack adequate water resources, stimulate agricultural growth, and help improve the livelihoods of villagers.

What are some of the benefits of using drilling wells for church planting?

There are many benefits to using drilling wells for church planting. Here are a few: 1. Drilling wells are a more efficient way to distribute resources in rural areas. This is because they can reach further down into the ground than traditional water sources, making them more effective in reaching remote areas. 2. They also help churches remain connected with their local community. This is because wells provide access to essential resources like clean water and irrigation systems, which can help to improve the quality of life for people living in rural areas. 3. Finally, wells can provide a sense of security for church members who may have been displaced by violence or other disasters in the area. By providing them with access to clean drinking water and irrigation, wells can help to reduce the risk of disease and malnutrition.

How can wells help church planting in Uganda?

Wells can help church planting in Uganda in a number of ways. 1. Drilling wells also opens up potential social networks between local people and foreign missionaries who work together on projects like this one. Social networks are incredibly important for any type of foreign project, be it construction, education, or scientific research. By building relationships with the local community, foreigners are able to develop trust and commit to the well-being of the people involved. 2. Well construction and maintenance can be expensive, so well sponsorships from charitable organizations or government entities may be necessary to make them available to church plants in Uganda. Sponsorships can help cover the costs associated with well-drilling, such as salaries for laborers and materials necessary for the project. 3. Wells can provide a reliable water supply for new churches in rural areas, which can help Church planting succeed. Churches with water access can build more stable foundations and grow more quickly because they don’t have to worry about water scarcity causing plants to wither and die. 4. Well drilling teams from other countries that are interested in helping out with church planting opportunities might also be able to lend a hand by providing training or equipment for the project. This type of international cooperation is beneficial because it allows different countries to share

Conclusion

The water crisis in Uganda is a serious issue that is only going to get worse. As a result, church planting is becoming ever more important as a way of addressing the community’s needs. Drilling wells is one of the most effective ways of doing this, as it provides desperately-needed water supplies to areas that would otherwise be left dry. With the help of wells drilled by churches, Uganda is slowly making a comeback. Thank you for reading, and we hope that this blog has helped to shed some light on the importance of church planting in Uganda. Please feel free to leave your comments below!

When the Rains Fail, Hope Must Take Root Across Mulanje District, the land tells a difficult story. Seasons that once brought dependable rains are now marked by prolonged drought, erratic weather, and declining harvests. Global climate shocks—felt across East and Southern Africa—are hitting rural Malawian families especially hard. When crops fail, it is not just food that disappears, but stability, dignity, and hope.  Widows, children, and smallholder farmers are bearing the heaviest burden. Without irrigation, savings, or access to resilient farming methods, many families are forced to rely on expensive markets or emergency food aid just to survive. Yet even in this hardship, something powerful is growing.

Protecting Malawi’s Children: Our Commitment Every child deserves more than survival. Every child deserves safety, love, dignity, and the freedom to dream. In Malawi, however—particularly in rural districts like Mulanje—too many children grow up facing risks that no child should ever endure. In 2025 alone, 148,664 cases of child abuse, exploitation, and neglect were reported nationwide. Behind each statistic is a real child—someone’s daughter, son, or sibling—whose childhood was interrupted by violence, forced responsibility, or silence. Harmful practices such as child marriage, child labour, and sexual violence continue to threaten children’s wellbeing, education, and future potential. These realities are painful—but they are not the end of the story.

A story of generosity, healing, and the quiet power of faithful stewardship Most people assume that meaningful healthcare requires massive budgets, permanent buildings, and years of infrastructure. But in 2025, across some of the most underserved regions of East Africa, something quietly extraordinary happened. With $142,000 in donor support , volunteer medical teams delivered over $10.1 million worth of medical care —completely free to patients who otherwise would have gone without. That’s not a typo. This is the story of how generosity multiplied, how dignity was protected, and how healing reached places the healthcare system cannot.

Where the Shadows Hide The first time I looked into the eyes of a child rescued from trafficking, I realized this issue isn’t simply about statistics—it’s about stolen stories. It’s about what happens when humanity forgets who we are and whom we belong to. Sex trafficking is not confined to distant countries or dark alleyways. It’s in border towns, business districts, and even in the quiet suburbs of America. It is the visible symptom of invisible wounds—poverty, broken systems, and spiritual disconnection. Through the work of Amigos Internacionales , I’ve seen how easily desperation becomes a doorway. Traffickers exploit the most sacred human need—to be seen, valued, and loved—and twist it into bondage. But I’ve also seen how faith and community can transform that same desperation into hope. The Crossroads of Trauma and Transformation In my book, The Choice That Can Change the World, I write that every one of us stands at a crossroads where trauma meets transformation. Survivors of trafficking know this crossroads intimately. “Every painful memory holds within it an invitation to rise above and forge anew.” — The Choice That Can Change the World When a life has been shattered by exploitation, healing begins not with forgetting, but with choosing. Choosing to believe that renewal is still possible. Choosing to accept that even in the ruins, God can rebuild something beautiful. For many survivors, the journey from trauma to triumph begins the same way faith always begins—with a choice. “Now choose life,” says Deuteronomy 30:19, “so that you and your children may live.” That command is not just for the victim. It’s for the rescuer, the leader, the bystander, the church, and the CEO. Each of us must choose life in how we lead, how we serve, and how we see those society has cast aside.

In West Nile, Uganda, there are children who have never known a single day without pain.  Some live with hernias that keep them from running and playing. Others were born with anorectal malformations or hypospadias, conditions that make something as simple as using the bathroom or going to school deeply shameful and physically painful. Many have treatable masses, cysts, or congenital conditions that slowly steal their childhood. Their parents know something is wrong. They’ve walked for miles, waited in crowded clinics, and prayed for a solution. But surgery is expensive, specialists are rare, and for families living in poverty, the cost is simply impossible.

The Horrors of South Sudan’s War: Why Children Like Alfred Suffer South Sudan’s history is marked by brutal conflict and unimaginable human suffering. Since independence in 2011, the nation has endured repeated civil wars, ethnic massacres, and attacks on civilians. Hospitals and schools — lifelines for communities — have been bombed, leaving millions without access to basic care. In May 2025, a bombing destroyed the only hospital serving 110,000 people in Fangak County ( Reuters ). Reports from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum document widespread atrocities, including killings, sexual violence, and forced displacement. For thousands of children, this means living with the trauma of violence — and for some, like Alfred, life-threatening injuries that require urgent surgical care.
