	Ryan’s Well Ryan was a six year old boy who heard his teacher talking about the great need for water in Africa. He set to work doing household chores to raise the $70 needed to provide one well, and his dedication to date has brought 266 wells in 12 countries serving 435,343 people. The Foundation's Mission The Ryan’s Well Foundation inspires, motivates, and empowers children and adults to share Ryan’s vision of a world where everyone has clean water. With partners in developing countries, this foundation works to provide clean water and bring related health services to water-poor people in developing countries. It also educates and advocates for widespread participation in its objectives, and inspires present and future leaders to realize their own global visions. A strategic advantage to the Ryan’s Well Foundation is that Ryan and Ryan’s story continue to multiply results. He compels action and interest around the world in ways that others cannot, meaning more children and families can have access to clean water sooner. We have the ability, now we need the collective will. Goals The Ryan's Well Foundation aims to inspire and encourage children, adults, schools, and service organizations to engage in activities that will develop funds for water and health-related projects in African countries and other developing nations.
