Marion Medical Mission (MMM) shares the love of Jesus with the extremely rural poor in Africa by providing a sustainable source of safe drinking water. Since 1990, MMM has built over 58,000 wells covering an area of over 60,000 square miles in Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, and Tanzania.
The villagers make bricks, provide sand, stone, and unskilled labor. MMM provides only what the village cannot: the cement, pipe, pump, and skilled African labor. Everything is purchased, manufactured, and administered in Africa by Africans. $475 builds a well in Africa that is sustainable by the extremely rural poor.
Safe drinking water means children will not die from waterborne diseases. Not just the year the well is built, but for generations to come. It means healthier people who can work and have longer, higher quality lives.
100% of all designated donations go to their designated purposes.
100% of all undesignated donations go to the mission field in Africa. No portion of donation is used for administration costs unless so designated.
Through the annual Lent Water Challenge and Christmas Alternatives, St. Mark donated enough funds to MMM to build 24 wells in 2024.
