How a Jesus Well Transformed Lives in India – Gospel for Asia & Clean Water

West Bengal, India. Surrounded by water, these remote islands still desperately needed clean, safe water. This is the story of Nandita, Arnab and their families—and how a Jesus Well changed their lives. The need for clean water amid the global water crisis, especially in parts of Asia and India, cannot be understated.

Gospel for Asia, through the provision of clean water wells and water filters, is saving the lives of children, mothers and fathers across Asia. And we’re saving these families’ time so children can attend school more often, mothers can do more with their time and fathers are healthy more often to keep working.
