2022 Walk for Water at Riverfront Park 

Posted April 21st, 2022 by Water Mission.

On Saturday, March 26, more than 3,750 people participated in the 16th Annual Walk for Water at Riverfront Park in North Charleston, SC. Together, they raised more than $450,000 (and counting).   Every day, millions of women and children walk more than three miles to collect water that is often contaminated and makes their families sick. The three-mile Walk for Water route represented the average distance people walk each day to collect water that can lead to water-related illnesses. Walkers carried empty buckets until the halfway point, filled them with water, and carried the full buckets the final 1.5 miles.  Scroll on to see some highlights of ... Read More

Global Water Center Update

Posted April 8th, 2022 by Water Mission.

Last year, Water Mission launched a new, independent nonprofit, the Global Water Center. The Global Water Center’s purpose is to end the global water crisis by convening, training, and resourcing organizations and governments around global strategies and standards for safe water projects.  In its first year, the Global Water Center deployed the Mobile Discovery Center to raise awareness and create advocates in cities around the United States through immersive, interactive activities. The traveling exhibit made 10 stops across the country, opening its doors to visitors in eight states within its first six months.  The Mobile Discovery Center includes three trailers enclosing state-of-the-art exhibits inside. The Global Water Center also ... Read More

The West Central Africa Region Solar Hub

Posted April 8th, 2022 by Water Mission.

Water Mission is dedicated to developing and implementing best-in-class safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) solutions.

It’s also about innovating for continuous improvement, including collaborating within the sector to end the global water crisis.  In 2021, in collaboration with UNICEF, Water Mission’s Innovation and Engineering Department continued to support a significant investment in training through the West Central Africa Region (WCAR) Solar Hub. Launched in 2020, the WCAR Solar Hub provides free technical support for any organization working on solar-powered water systems in the region. The ultimate goal is to scale ... Read More

Lightening Life’s Burdens

Posted April 8th, 2022 by Water Mission.

More than half of the global population lacks a sanitary place to go to the bathroom. Without this basic accommodation, people lack privacy and face indignity.   When her husband passed away last year, Gladys was suddenly alone in the world with six young daughters. The new widow was determined to remain strong for her children but feared for their safety. Water Mission had installed a safe water solution in Gladys’ community of Santa Elena, Peru, which improved overall health and opportunities. However, families still had to go to the fields for their personal sanitation needs. It can be especially dangerous for women and ... Read More

Opening Doors to the Gospel

Posted April 8th, 2022 by Water Mission.

When we build safe water solutions, communities witness us serving in the name of the Lord. These safe water and sanitation projects open doors to share the Living Water message of Jesus Christ.   When we began mobilizing local church leaders to raise awareness about upcoming Living Water activities in Chimbiya, Malawi, people already knew and trusted Water Mission. After equipping local church leaders, we held three Bible study workshops. This training introduced attendees to vital biblical principles and the life-changing good news of the gospel. They were foundational for the final activity: a two-day marriage seminar.   Safe water projects in Chimbiya, Malawi, opened doors to sharing the Living Water message ... Read More

Around the world, more than 443 million school days are missed every year because of the global water crisis. Girls’ educations are particularly affected. Not only can contaminated water make them too sick to attend school, but they also shoulder the burden of spending hours collecting water for their families. Losing out on an education impacts girls’ futures, but access to safe water creates opportunities to transform lives.   Losing out on an education impacts girls’ futures, but access to safe water creates opportunities to transform lives.
