A story from the field

A well in Ethiopia, dedicated to a daughter

When Ben Murray joined Designs for Hope, he brought more than seven years of relationships — he brought his family's story. Ben and his wife dedicated a water well in Ethiopia in memory of their daughter Henrietta, who went ahead of them to heaven.

That well doesn't just provide clean water. It tells a community that someone who never visited their village loved them enough to give. That's the Gospel in action — physical provision opening a door to spiritual truth.

— Ben Murray, Director of Donor Relations

Water wells aren't just clean water wells. They're opportunities to share the Gospel and the love of our Heavenly Father. Every project exists to open a door to the good news of Jesus Christ.
