Donate--Wells For Our Grandmothers

May the mind that unites all beings be rec­og­nized as the foun­da­tion of our shared exis­tence in the fam­ily of human­ity. —Dhyani Ywa­hoo, Voices of Our Ancestors

Wells For Our Grand­moth­ers™ is an inspired vision to improve lives in the vil­lages of Uru on Mt. Kil­i­man­jaro. Each of the wells, reser­voirs, dis­tri­b­u­tion pipe paths and water access sta­tions, will have an ances­tral or inspi­ra­tional name. In nam­ing these water places as the ‘Grand­moth­ers Well’ or the ‘Grand­fa­thers Reser­voir’ we honor not only those close to us, but we also honor the world’s peo­ple and our com­mon bonds as global fam­ily. This includes our roles and rela­tion­ships as moth­ers and fathers, sis­ters and broth­ers, both per­son­ally and within the fam­ily of humanity.

As an imme­di­ate relief effort for clean water access in Uru, Tan­za­nia, 25 well sites have been sur­veyed for poten­tial drilling. Our first deep water wells are being funded by a grass roots approach of per­sonal dona­tions, to honor loved ones, fos­ter per­sonal and cul­tural under­stand­ing, and to strengthen global community.

Our first max­i­mum yield water bore­hole, The Grand­mother Well at Kimo­cholo, will pro­vide water for 5,000+ peo­ple when The Unity Path pipe dis­tri­b­u­tion is com­pleted. The Uru peo­ple are pro­vid­ing ‘sweat equity’ by dig­ging trenches for the pipeline to the reser­voir, which they will clean & repair before water flows into it.

The water wells, reser­voirs, pipe paths and access sta­tions will also carry inspi­ra­tional names includ­ing Unity, Hope, Love, Wis­dom and Forgiveness.
