By providing safe water solutions and the opportunity to experience God’s love, we impact lives for decades to come. An essential piece to long-term success is empowering communities to take ownership of their safe water solutions.
One such community is Hicaque Número Uno in Honduras. In 2001, we installed a Living Water Treatment System, which continues to produce 500 liters of safe water every day. Residents have meticulously cared for the system for 20 years. Because of the dedicated system operator and local cooperative that manages the project, safe water flows in Hicaque today just as it did in 2001.
This safe water is essential to the community’s health and economic prosperity. The community’s farmers visit the water distribution point each morning before work, collecting safe water to sustain them through the workday. The treated water keeps farmers—as well as their families throughout Hicaque—hydrated, healthy, and free from water-related illnesses.
For 20 years, Water Mission has aimed to honor God by developing best-in-class safe water solutions that transform lives—and withstand the test of time. We know that the difference between a temporary fix and a resilient, sustainable solution can be truly life-changing for our global neighbors.
