Access to clean water is a luxury most people can only dream about. Ads can be seen on TV about this dilemma and some are fighting to stop this reality. But as days go by, not much has been done to see the end of this epidemic. Kyle Reno, a well driller from Florida, has discovered his calling in this area of injustice. While on a mission trip to Saint Marc, Haiti, Kyle saw this need in the communities surrounding the city. He found that most children work to get water for their families, the miles that they walk take up the majority of their day. When he visited the source of this water he found that the many miles walked were not worth the water they were receiving. The river that is their source of water was being used as a pool, bathtub, and toilet of humans and animals. While processing this great need, Kyle wondered who could help these people, but everything pointed right back to him. As a well driller, he would be able to provide clean, drinkable water. It wasn’t possible to do anything during his short trip, but when he returned to Florida, he shared with his church all that he dreamed to do. After communicating all he longed to do, Kyle was approached by a man, Nathan Boleen, starting an organization to drill wells in third world countries. Their dreams matched up perfectly, so Kyle decided to partner with him. The next day, a woman from the rotary club asked Kyle if they could sponsor his work. Things really started to take off. By May 2010, he took a second trip to Haiti, this time to start testing the water in different communities. What he discovered was shocking. In every sample of water tested, both bacteria and salt were found. This is the same water that thousands of people drink every day.

Kyle is determined to make this happen. He is going to drill 150 wells every year. Instead of the $1750 that it normally costs to drill a well, he and his team will be drilling them for $200-$300. Since he won’t be charging for labor, the costs are significantly decreased and will cost the Haitian people nothing. His goal is to provide clean water for all of St. Marc and eventually many different third world countries. His dream is to help as many people as he can in his lifetime. Once he gets started, there’s no stopping him. No lack of finances, no lack of resources, no lack of workers can prevent him from completing his goal.

The one thing Kyle is most in need of is your prayer. Please pray for open doors and able hands. For ample funds and abundant supplies. Be in prayer for the people who are in need of the clean water. Pray that God would fill them with hope while they wait for the wells to be drilled. Pray for safety for the team who will be drilling these wells as they work to provide this water.
