We’re more than clean water.

Our mission is to bring hope and life to communities around the world facing water scarcity and spiritual hardship. We provide clean, safe, drinking water and share the Living Water in places with limited access to both. 

We give away clean water to quench thirst for the day. And then we introduce Jesus to satisfy it for eternity.

What we’re doing
about it.

1. We identify communities around the world that lack access to clean water and have little to no exposure to the Gospel message.
2. We assemble a local missionary team to conduct door-to-door assessments within the community.
3. Once the community census is complete, we distribute long-lasting water filters to each family and begin introducing them to the Gospel.
4. After distributing the filters, we follow up with each family at least three times to ensure proper filter maintenance and continue sharing the message of Christ in their home. We do this because we don’t just want to give them a filter and a Bible and send them on their way. We want to be on this journey of improved health and spiritual growth with them.

Meet the families on the
other side of your generosity

Every gift of $50 sponsors an underprivileged family with a long-lasting water filter, anti-parasitic medicine, and ongoing follow-up from our local ministry partners.

After you give, you’ll receive access to a personal impact dashboard where you can track your donation by:

1:

Meeting the exact family/families your gift sponsored and a photo of them.

2:

Viewing the GPS location where the filter was distributed.

3:

Seeing where the Gospel was shared.

Because every family is individually sponsored, every donation is personally trackable.

Here's what that journey looks like:

Our filters provide generational access to clean water.

We use the Sawyer PointONE “Squeeze” Filter , a hollow-fiber membrane system that removes bacteria, parasites, protozoa, and other harmful contaminants down to 0.1 microns. Using the same technology as kidney dialysis, it will purify up to one million gallons of water and last over 20 years—ensuring each and every family that receives one long-term access to clean, safe, drinking water.
