Partnering For Relief
February 18, 2014
The people of Luyang were thrilled to receive their safe water solution.
Water Missions International staff member Josue traveled to Luyang, Cebu to design and implement a customized safe water solution for the community Mark told us about. After testing the water in the local wells, Josue determined that the people of Luyang would best be served by our Living Water™ Treatment System. The system was installed and quickly worked to filter and treat water from one of the community’s wells.
“Water Missions International answered our call for help, and there are so many people who are incredibly grateful that you did. As of this moment, even in darkness, people are lining up for water outside of the tank, and all walking away happy to have safe drinking water, many for the first time,” Mark wrote us the night the system was installed.
People crowded to get safe water.
As part of our approach to disaster response, we hope to work with communities long after the original aid relief has been provided. We’ll continue to communicate with Mark and members of the Luyang community to see if it’s possible to transition this disaster relief project into one of our permanent community-based projects in the coming year.
