Clean Water U
Clean Water U, began in March 2004 at Hopewell Camp and Conference Center near Oxford, Mississippi and as the number of people concerned about the World Water Crisis increased, a second Clean Water U was created at Calvin Crest Conferences in Oakhurst, California.
Clean Water U is a simulation experience designed to equip mission teams with the skills necessary to form partnerships with communities in need of clean water, educate local leaders to lead ongoing health and hygiene programs and install water treatment systems
These learning objectives are taught in three separate workshops which run concurrently during a five-day session. An organization typically sends three or more representatives - at least one for each class. These workshops are:
- CWU 101: Water Project Management
- CWU 102: Health, Hygiene and Spiritual Education
- CWU 103: Water Testing, Water Treatment System Construction, Operation and Maintenance
Clean Water U sessions are open to people of any nationality, faith tradition or community service orientation and graduates of the training program are equipped to serve as team leaders, educators or technicians on subsequent water-focused mission trips.

Famous quotes containing the words clean and/or water:
“The only human beings I have thoroughly admired and respected in the world have been those who carried the load of the world with a smile, and who, in the face of anxieties that would have knocked me clean out, never showed a tremor. Such men and women end by owning us, soul and body, and our allegiance can never be shaken. We are only too glad to be owned. Religion is nothing but this.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“All good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
