Presence College × Iris Global

Together, we are drilling a well in Mozambique.

Presence College gives $1 for every student who has ever enrolled, back to our very first, toward a well drilled by Iris Global. Automatically, at no cost to you. At $7,500, a village gets clean drinking water for the very first time.

How it works

How your enrollment becomes water

Nothing to tick, no extra fee, no points to collect. It happens with every student, and it started with our very first.

You enroll

Any course, any bundle: the moment you become a Presence College student, you count. Once, however many courses you take.
$1 goes to the well

We set aside $1 for every student, from our own share, and add it to the well. Your price does not change.
Iris Global drills it

Each $7,500 drills one well in a village in Mozambique, with Iris Global's team on the ground. Then the next well begins.

Why a well

Water for today. Hope for eternity.

Many communities in Mozambique still have no clean water supply, and many fall sick and die as a result. Iris Global drills wells where they are needed most: a well brings a village clean drinking water for the very first time.

School instead of the long walkA young girl can go to school rather than spend the day walking miles to fetch water.
Fewer sicknessesClean water and better hygiene cut the infectious diseases that make so many sick.
Safe at the water's edgeNo one has to fear a crocodile while filling their buckets at the river.
A church beside the wellIris Global plants a church in each community, to introduce it to the One who is the Living Water.

Title and words: Iris Global, Drill a Well.

And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.

Matthew 10:42

Good to know

Questions about the well

Does it cost me anything more? Who counts as a student? How is the amount calculated? Who drills the well, and where? What happens when the goal is reached? Can I give more myself?

Does it cost me anything more?

No. The $1 per student comes from Presence College's own share: your course price stays the same, and there is nothing to tick at checkout.

Who counts as a student?

Everyone who has enrolled in a Presence College course, all the way back to our very first student. Each person counts once, however many courses they take. A refunded enrollment does not count.

How is the amount calculated?

Students × $1. The figures on this page follow the number of students by themselves: every new student moves the bar.

Who drills the well, and where?

Iris Global, a Christian mission at work in Mozambique, through its Drill a Well program: $7,500 drills one well for a community without clean water.

What happens when the goal is reached?

That well is funded and the next one begins: the bar starts again for the next well, and the count of wells funded goes up.

Can I give more myself?

Yes. You can give directly to Iris Global's Drill a Well campaign: your gift goes straight to them, not through us. Iris Global is a 501(c)(3) charity (EIN 33-0648658).
