We are a small 501(c)(3) run by the people who started it. Your gift goes to wells, clinics and schools, and we show you where.
Outreach day1
The village chooses.
We sit down with village leaders first, so each well goes where people need it most.
The water tower at dusk2
We build it to last.
Quality materials and proper construction, so a well serves for decades, not seasons.
At the hand pump3
Locals keep it running.
We train people in each community to maintain the well and keep the water safe.
Will the well still work next year?
Across rural Africa, many hand pumps break within a few years because nobody is trained to fix them. That is why every MMHZ well comes with local people trained to maintain it, and why part of every gift goes to repairs.
What one well changes
A new dawn for Mwembeshi
Before the well, women and children walked miles for dirty water. Now there is clean water close to home, and more time for school.
From illness to wellness
Waterborne disease was a constant threat to Mumbi's family. With a well nearby, her children are healthy and growing.
One well, a whole village
A single well has given women their hours back, kept children in class and helped local farms grow.
Two weeks of church and mission work in Mwembeshi and Mpamba, Chilanga, with Victoria Falls and a Chobe safari in Botswana. $3,250 covers airfare, lodging, meals and the safari.

Questions people ask before giving
Where does my money go?
To wells, repairs, clinics and school support in the communities we serve. We are a small team, so there is no big head office to pay for.
Is MMHZ a registered charity?
Yes. Medical Mission of Hope to Zambia is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Alexandria, Virginia.
Can I give every month?
Yes. Choose Monthly on the donate page, and you can change or cancel it any time from Manage donations.
