First Well by Agape Mission and also first time they have, in Remote Village, Shwepyithar, Yangon Region
“Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” John 4:13-14
Myanmar
Myanmar is a country with a population of 50,279,900 millions people and 6.3% is Christian according to the 2014 Myanmar Population Census Report . There are 14 States in Myanmar.
Water-Shortage suffering in Myanmar are still unresolved yet and thousands of Villagers and millions of people in Myanmar are facing water shortage every year and every State as ponds and reservoirs that collect rain water are drying up. There are three seasons in Myanmar. Hot season( March through April), Rainy season ( May through October) and the Cool season ( November through February). Water scarcity is most high and forcing villagers and animals to travel for miles in search of drinking water during Hot season and cool season. The people are only able to carry water twice a day at the most because they rarely have carts. So they have to carry water in containers on Yokes. Villagers did not benefit from Water Seller for the trucks can not get through the sandy road and also Widow, Orphan and Poor in Town and City did not benefit from water seller due to poverty. They can neither afford to buy the water nor afford to dig the well for water. They only have two options that is either to travel for miles to get clean water ( It causes many children to drop out of school for getting water for family) or to drink contaminated water that cause many kind of sickness, diseases and death to millions lives. According to above mentioned current reality in Myanmar, the most effective and relevant Strategies for solving Myanmar Water Crisis and saving lives is through Drilling Wells/ Boreholes.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, ” Matthew 25:35
“And if you [a]give yourself to the hungry And satisfy the [b]desire of the afflicted,
Then your light will rise in darkness And your gloom will become like midday.” Isaiah 58:10
Myanmar is the second largest country in Southeast Asia and is rich in natural resources. Yet The nation’s economy is one of the least developed in the world, ranking 150th out of 187 countries and is suffering the effects of extended isolation and stagnation. A quarter of Myanmar’s population (more than 13 millions people 26 percent) still lives below the poverty line. And more than 3 millions people are spending a high percentage of their limited income that does not meet their basic needs. Hunger in Myanmar is common to widows, orphans, the poor and uneducated but million people are facing similar woes due to ethnic conflicts and intercommunal violence since its independence in 1948, resulting in massive displacement of people, Natural disasters that destroy Houses, Crops and many lives , Famines, Poverty and persecutions that force people either to deny their faith or leave home without food. Hunger causes nutritional unbalance and Nutritional unbalance causes all kind of sicknesses, diseases and shortens life Span.

” I go house to house for washing cloths to feed my family. I hardly get to feed my family twice per day. I work daily for daily food no work no food. We have not extra and do not have enough food. I heard the Gospel through Feeding Program that was held in front of my house by Cornerstone and am healed and saved. That time, The Feeding Program was held only once a year. I go to the Church faithfully though I do not work on Sunday and have no food for Sunday and always pray to the Lord. The Lord answered my prayer and have food to eat now. Praise the Lord.” Widow Daw Ti
