About BY PROVISION

Faith, service and sustainable provision.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit shaped by a simple conviction: access to safe water and useful knowledge can help people and communities move toward self-sustaining life.

We serve through practical expressions of care.

Our Christian faith calls us to serve with humility, respect and purpose. We connect water, education and local participation because we believe sustainable provision grows when people have both resources and the knowledge to steward them.

Our story

BY PROVISION was founded in 2000 by Gary and Elizabeth Wilkins. From the beginning, our mission has joined faith with practical service, focusing on safe water and the capabilities that help communities sustain it.
