There is great reward when we embrace others in need and equip them with skills (not handouts) so that dignity and sustainability can be passed on to others!

Kids Empowering Kids VBS 2025 - Water for Tanzania
VBS Mission Project 2025 by Concordia Supply
Drilling wells is one of the most sustainable ways to provide clean water. Dirty water is one of the primary causes of illness and death, especially among children under 5 years old. Women and children also carry the burden of collecting water so having a nearby source of clean water dramatically improves their lives.
Goal for 2025
Complete 10 solar-powered water wells to bring clean water to 10,000 people

About Empowering Lives International (ELI)
ELI is Christian not-for-profit ministry working in East Africa. The Tanzania ministry is located near Mwanza and serves surrounding areas that struggle with access to clean water.
In 2013, ELI trained a team of Tanzanians now called the Mighty Men Drillers, which was inspired by King David’s Mighty Men in 2 Samuel 23. The team is fully capable of all drilling services including: community mobilization, groundwater surveys, water drilling, pump installation, water tank construction, pump repair, and community follow up.
