Neverthirst, Inc. is a non-profit charity group that develops clean water resources in developing nations. Its offices are located at 1919 Oxmoor Road in Homewood.

It was founded in 2008 by Spencer Sutton after he returned from a trip to the Sudan. It takes its name from a passage in the Gospel of John: "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

The group's first well was drilled in the village of Witto, Sudan. Since then 20 other wells have been drilled in that country, as well as 99 in India and 4 in the Central African Republic. The group raises funds from individuals and churches, mainly in the Birmingham area.
