Mission
Clean Water Wells & Sustainable Life-Saving Programs in Africa
The mission of Hearts and Hands for Humanity (H3) is to transform lives in Eastern Africa by empowering families through sustainable life-saving programs with an emphasis on women and children.
Our custom-designed human-powered drill can provide clean water wells at 1/4 the cost of wells provided by other charities. Each well can provide drinkable water for about 2,500+ people for about 10+ years. Each clean water well reduces water-related disease, enables young women to attend school, and allows farms to provide crops for communities. This flagship program is provided in addition to other programs such as school supplies, feminine hygiene, supporting orphanages and more.
When your Heart is involved and you are willing to get your Hands dirty, we can all make a difference in the fight against scarce and contaminated drinking water, as well as hunger and poverty, for those in need.
Volunteer With Us In Africa!
Through a for-profit partnership, you can go on a Humanitarian Safari and meet the people you are helping. Experience joy in drilling a clean water well, volunteer at orphanages, serve in other humanitarian activities, and explore the wonders of Africa.

Your Heart & Hands Can Join In To Make A Change
“There is an interdependence between those who have and those who have not. The process of giving exalts the poor and humbles the rich. In the process, both are sanctified. The poor, released from the bondage and limitations of poverty, are enabled as free men to rise to their full potential, both temporally and spiritually. The rich, by imparting of their surplus, participate in the eternal principle of giving. Once a person has been made whole or self-reliant, he reaches out to aid others, and the cycle repeats itself.”
-Marian G. Romney
