Lifewater International - Projects and The Need For Water

Projects and The Need For Water

Lifewater is currently working in Central Asia, Laos, Uganda, Zambia, Kenya, Ethiopia, the Dominican Republic, and Ecuador. The clean water Lifewater provides goes beyond measures of health. Clean water sources close to home provide women and children with the opportunity to go to school rather than hike hours a day to provide water for their families. Clean water provides babies born to HIV mothers the chance to drink formula rather than get infected through their mothers’ breast milk. Further fighting against AIDS, clean water is a necessity to give those already infected a chance of survival by improving their health and making their medications more effective. According to Dr Lee Jong-Wook of the World Health Organization,

Once we can secure access to clean water and to adequate sanitation facilities for all people, irrespective of the difference in their living conditions, a huge battle against all kinds of diseases will be won.

Lifewater is a member of the Millennium Water Alliance (MWA), a coalition of water development organizations dedicated to joining efforts to raise awareness of the need for safe water and sanitation around the world. It is certified by the Evangelical Council of Financial Accountability (ECFA) and has a 49/70 rating on Charity Navigator, America's largest and most utilized independent evaluator of charities.
