Why Lifewater?



Faith in Action

We believe in serving the vulnerable in word and deed. That’s why, alongside our water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) work, we partner with local ministries to start bible studies, plant churches, distribute bibles, and more. Lifewater serves all people regardless of religion, listening first and walking alongside community members as neighbors.
