Hope for Today and Tomorrow: A Photo Essay on Uganda’s Refugee Settlements

Posted February 13th, 2020 by Water Mission.

Story by Water Mission | Photos by Sean Sheridan In Ugandan refugee settlements, we have served more than 230,000 people to date. But much remains to be done to keep improving the living conditions of refugees and their hosts. These hosts are often-marginalized Ugandan communities who absorb the influx of people fleeing violence, famine, and war in places like South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Hosts share their already-limited resources and land. In our years of work in these settlements, we’ve witnessed and been a part of moments of progress, reconciliation, and joy – moments that spark hope. As Tom Kisubi, Water Mission’s country ...

What is community investment and how does it help end the global water crisis?

Posted January 9th, 2020 by Water Mission.

As we usher in 2020, we want to highlight the communities we serve. They are, after all, the reason why we do what we do 365 days a year: putting an end to the global water crisis through partnerships, innovative technology, and engineering expertise. Every one of these communities – from Latin America and the Caribbean to Africa and Asia – invest various resources that help initiate, implement, operate, and maintain safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) projects around the world. At Water Mission, we believe that the global water crisis can be solved if we take a comprehensive approach to combating it. We design customized solutions for each community we serve and partner ...

We are so grateful for God’s blessings and your support this year. Before we turn the page on 2019, ... Read More

How a Former Pro Athlete is on a Mission to Live Dangerously

Posted November 26th, 2019 by Scott Linebrink.

Working at Water Mission as a stewardship advisor — after a long career in Major League Baseball — has changed my world view. I’ve had the chance to go to places that lack access to some of the most basic needs. Because I’ve seen suffering that I never knew could exist, my beliefs have been stirred and shaken. It has also given me purpose. As a Christian, I can show the love and grace of Jesus Christ to other athletes who might be in constant search of a “better” life. When I invite them to join me in the mission of ... Read More

The First Country Program: A Commitment to Serve and Love in Honduras

Posted October 3rd, 2019 by Water Mission.

Guest Contributor: Hector Chacon, Honduras Country Program Director When I look back at the last two decades, I am reminded of the vision first shared with me by George and Molly Greene, our beloved co-founders: that all people have clean, safe water and an opportunity to experience God’s love. I remember the first time I met George and Molly. I was serving on leadership for the Rotary Club of Tocoa, Honduras, and they had been in the country after responding to the devastation caused by Hurricane Mitch. That first meeting in 1998 led to my partnership — and treasured friendship — ... Read More

The First Sip: Honoring Molly F. Greene

Posted October 2nd, 2019 by Cinelle Barnes.

“We must maintain a position of seeking Him first and praying about everything,” said our co-founder, Molly F. Greene, in a conversation about her hopes for Water Mission. “We need to be available to the Lord.” We take to heart a belief Molly carried with her since Water Mission’s founding in 2001: that we must remain in what she referred to as “a blessable position,” a place defined by God’s call and a reliance on His provision. In fact, it was a response to God’s call to love our neighbors as ourselves that birthed our first safe water project — ... Read More
