Restoring Wells — The Jacob Wells Initiative

Across rural landscapes in Africa and beyond, hundreds of wells—once vital sources of life—now sit in silence. Broken. Forgotten. Contaminated. But beneath the dust and rust lies something powerful: potential.

At Intermissions International Commission, we see these neglected water sources not as relics, but as opportunities. We call them Jacob Wells—symbolic places of past provision that are waiting to flow again.

Through the Jacob Wells Initiative, we’re breathing life back into these wells, one community at a time. In the past five years, our teams and partners have successfully restored more than 300 wells across Uganda, delivering clean, safe water to over 20,000 people. Families once forced to walk hours for contaminated water now gather at clean, flowing wells in the center of their villages. Health is restored. Time is redeemed. Hope is reborn.

Yet for every well we restore, many more remain untouched—waiting for a helping hand and a willing heart.

This is where you come in.

💲 With just $10, you help cover the cost of ongoing well maintenance—keeping clean water flowing.
💲 With $10,000, you can fully restore a Jacob Well—renewing life for an entire community.

Your contribution isn’t just a donation. It’s an act of revival. A declaration that no community is too remote to matter and no gift of compassion is too small to make a difference.

 

Why Restoration Matters

• Restoring a well is 50–70% more cost-effective than digging a new one.
• It takes less time to rehabilitate an existing water source—delivering results within weeks, not months.
• Communities already know and trust these sites, making restoration a natural point of unity and celebration.
• Every restored well becomes a beacon of faith, a testimony that what was abandoned can live again.

 

A Deeper Meaning

The name “Jacob Wells” echoes the biblical site where Yahusha offered living water to the Samaritan woman—meeting both her physical and spiritual thirst. In the same way, each restored well today is more than infrastructure—it is a symbol of mercy, a channel of hope, and a prophetic act of justice.

 

Be Part of the Flow

You don’t need millions to make a mark. You just need a heart willing to restore what others have forgotten.

💧 Restore a well. Revive a village. Reflect the heart of Yahuah.
