2021 World Water Day: Valuing Clean, Safe Water

Posted March 18th, 2021 by Water Mission.

What does water mean to you? When you think of water, what images come to mind? A cold glass to drink after a long run? A tub filled with bubbles as you give your baby a bath? A quiet prayer beside a peaceful stream?  Water means something different to everyone—but we all need it to survive. Many of us turn on the faucet and it flows freely. But 2.2 billion people around the world still lack access to safe, clean water.   Collecting safe water in Capity, Haiti   You are helping to change that. On March 22nd, World Water Day, we invite you to join us in celebrating the transformation taking place in communities where safe water was once scarce, but is ...

Full of Life: Safe Water Saves Boy in Mexico 

Posted December 9th, 2020 by Water Mission.

Before Josué was born, his mother, Sandy, and father, Suami, came to La Concordia, Mexico to make a better life for themselves and their family. But it’s hard to succeed when the water you drink makes you sick. “My children got sick many times with waterborne illness and vomiting,” said Sandy. “Four times, I took my children to the hospital because I thought they were going to die. The doctor said Josué and his brothers might have died if I had taken them two hours later.” Sandy also said that as a mother, she is overjoyed to no longer be worried about ... Read More

Students and Teachers in Tanzania Now with Access to Safe Water for Handwashing Amid COVID-19 

Posted December 7th, 2020 by Acadia Munari.

Life without water. A thought so unimaginable that when you realize communities lack access to clean, safe water for handwashing—even amid COVID-19—it makes you stop in your tracks. How can this be? A resource so readily available to so many is still out of reach for nearly one-third of the world’s population. It’s a statistic that Water Mission and so many other organizations are dedicated to ending, including our new partner Azimuth World Foundation. Water Mission’s Partnership with Azimuth World Foundation  Two students at Kiganamo Primary School wash their hands while using a handwashing station funded by Azimuth World Foundation. In March, our team embarked on a mission to ensure people around the world have access to handwashing supplies amid COVID-19. We recently completed the installation of 30 handwashing stations at 15 primary schools in Kasulu, Tanzania. ... Read More

On World Toilet Day, Pentair, Kohler, and Water Mission Partner for Safe Sanitation 

Posted November 18th, 2020 by Water Mission.

Throughout 2020, Water Mission has highlighted the urgent need for safe water in the fight against a global pandemic and following natural disasters. In such emergencies, safe water becomes a scarce but desperately needed resource in sustaining life and preventing the spread of diseases. Today, on World Toilet Day, Water Mission would like to call attention to more than 4.2 billion people who live without access to safe sanitation. This equates to over half of the global population. Each year, November 19 is designated by the United Nations (UN) as World Toilet Day, a day designated to raise awareness of the 4.2 billion ... Read More

This Christmas, Water Is…

Posted November 16th, 2020 by Water Mission.

What is water for you this Christmas? You may think about it when you brew a hot cup of coffee to enjoy with a holiday treat, or when you notice the snowflakes on your windowpane. The truth is, water is this, and so much more. For the 2.2 billion people around the world who lack access to it, water is hope, life, unity, and peace. And these are the true blessings that you can share this season, in Jesus’ name, when you invest in the gift of clean, safe water. This Christmas, water is HOPE for men like Renold, a resident of Zoranger, Haiti, who lives with a visual impairment. Every day, Renold had to navigate treacherous mountain terrain for several miles with his walking cane to collect unsafe water. That all changed when Water Mission constructed a water treatment ...

Bringing Safe Water and God’s Love to Rural Indonesia

Posted November 10th, 2020 by Water Mission.

In rural Indonesia, paved roads are a rarity. To get to remote communities, Water Mission staff maneuver vehicles down muddy, rocky paths. Often, our staff travels on motorbikes because car travel is nearly impossible. Other times, they can only reach communities on foot. Even though bringing safe water to rural Indonesian communities is a major logistical challenge, we praise God that more than 385,000 people in the country have been served with safe water to date. Every day, we are encouraged in this work by the passion and dedication of our partners around the world—partners like you. Mt. Carmel Bible Presbyterian Church ... Read More
