Our Team

Led by people who care.

Why MFO

What makes us different

We don’t just drill wells. We build lasting infrastructure, empower local teams, and stay accountable to every dollar.

98% to the Field

No paid U.S. administrative staff. No overhead. Audited annually with IRS Form 990 filed publicly.

100% Burundi-Focused

We concentrate all resources on one country — building deep relationships and knowledge that drive better outcomes.

10 Full-Time Local Staff

Our Burundian team leads operations on the ground — drilling, repairing, and teaching hygiene in every village.

We Repair Any Well

Not just our own — we fix any broken well we find, at no cost to the community or the organization that built it.

Hygiene & Sanitation

Two dedicated team members teach health practices in every village — because clean water alone isn't enough.

Built for Generations

Every well is community-owned, locally maintained, and designed for long-term sustainability — not a quick fix.

A mission bigger than any one person.

The mission has always been bigger than any individual. Millions From One has continued to grow under new leadership, staying true to the heart of its calling — bringing clean water and lasting hope to the people of Burundi.
