Who We Are

The house of help, built on clean water.

For more than a decade, Makewell Project has been driven by builders and founders who believe those who've been given much have a responsibility to give back. We bring the same discipline and transparency we use to build companies to the most important work of all: providing the basic necessity of life.

  • Wells drilled deeper than government standards
  • Overhead fully covered by leadership & sponsors
  • Built and led by entrepreneurs giving back

Founders & Leadership

The 100% Promise

When you give a dollar, a dollar reaches the field.

Most charities split your gift between the cause and keeping the lights on. We don't. Our model is built so that your generosity arrives whole.

100% to the cause

Every dollar you give goes directly to water wells and humanitarian aid. Not most of it. All of it.

Overhead, fully covered

Salaries, operations, and administrative costs are paid by our leadership and a circle of dedicated sponsors.

Entrepreneurs giving back

We're a group of founders and builders using what we've learned to deliver the most basic necessity of life.

More than a well

One well sets an entire ecosystem in motion.

Water is the starting point, not the finish line. Each project we complete becomes the foundation for sanitation, education, and care that lasts for generations.

    It starts with water

    We drill deeper and hold to stricter standards than local requirements — so wells deliver clean, safe water all year, even in dry seasons.

  2. 02

    Sanitation & safety

    Reliable water enables separate restrooms that protect the integrity of drinking water and provide safety and dignity for women.

  3. 03

    Schools take root

    With water and sanitation secured, communities can build schools nearby — turning access into opportunity for the next generation.

  4. 04

    Orphanages & care

    At most locations, the same foundation supports orphanages, creating safe homes where children are cared for and can flourish.
