Living Water Through Safe Water
February 6, 2014
Now the students and faculty of Chisomo Training Center can enjoy safe water.
The staff and students of Chisomo Training Center didn’t expect to receive safe water, but Water Missions International quickly worked to provide a customized safe water solution for their needs. Water Missions International worked with the students to construct and install the project. As in all projects, we required the community to participate. The students came in droves to be part of the project.
A member of the training center’s staff, Charles, told our team, “Working during the installation has given us a lesson that commitment has to be practiced even when it means benefiting others. Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Jesus Christ to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
The students and teachers of Chisomo celebrated when safe water finally flowed.
Today the students of Chisomo Training Center are free from waterborne illness. The school no longer spends its money on hospital bills. Now, instead of struggling to get enough water, students can carry water bottles full of safe, clean water and easily refill them between classes. For the first time in the center’s history, students are learning uninterrupted by the strain of waterborne illness.
The impact of safe water will ripple out as students graduate and journey home to minister to their own communities. They will carry with them the tools to meet the need for the Living Water message, and a better understanding for the importance of safe water.
