When Oasis World Ministries heard of their need, they offered to drill a fresh-water well.

The local pastor and his congregation were elated, because a generous member of the community had donated enough land to build both a well and a church. The gift of the fresh-water well has opened the hearts of the people to this now growing Christian church.

"I want the people in India to have fresh water just like we do," he said to his mom. This conversation put in motion an idea that made a difference in the lives of thousands; especially for the women and girls of the village.

In India, 90% of the water is contaminated, and the average woman spends four hours a day collecting and purifying water. When their daughters reach the age of eight, they are pulled out of school to help. Can you imagine spending 28 hours a week preparing water for your family to drink? Or sacrificing your child's future by pulling them out of school?

Tate and his two brothers, Jaxon and Vance, sold fresh-baked bread to their relatives and friends and raised enough money to sponsor this well in the remote village of Jagaryala. This is all it took for Tate's idea to become a reality. Now a village of 5,000 has clean drinking water and the girls can attend school again.

On June 2009, 19 student and adult bike riders left Mt. Rushmore and pedaled 750 miles across three states over 11 days to raise water awareness and funds to bring clean water to third-world countries like India.

All it takes is one person with a vision. Will you be the next one?
