hope:starts with water

Lifewater International is a nonprofit organization that assists developing countries gain access to clean, safe water, and improved health through adequate sanitation and hygiene.

Lifewater believes that the solutions to these problems can be addressed through the development of local communities. Lifewater's work involves water well drilling, hand pump repair, water filter construction, and sanitation and hygiene education. Qualified Lifewater Field Trainers (FTs) travel to developing countries to train nationals to improve local drinking water supplies and community health. National crews are able to continue working and training others after FTs return home.

Lifewater is committed to meeting both physical and spiritual needs. By embracing a holistic view of human needs, it aims to alleviate suffering and trigger community-wide transformation at all levels. Many partner agencies incorporate Lifewater training with their existing ministries, sharing about Gods love and even planting churches in villages where they do water development. Without discriminating, and in partnership with trained nationals, Lifewater offers both safe water and the love of Christ to all those who thirst.
