Living Waters for the World

Living Waters for the World (LWW) is a faith-centered humanitarian organization that trains and supports volunteer teams to provide sustainable access to clean water through the fostering of long-term, mutually beneficial relationships between the volunteers and communities in need. LWW began as a mission outreach of the Synod of Living Waters of the Presbyterian Church (USA). LWW water systems and educational programs address the niche in world water provisioning in which communities have an adequate and available but contaminated water supply.

The LWW training model is a relational one that emphasizes local partners leading health and hygiene training and constructing the clean water system and that their U.S. partners mentor and support them throughout the project. A covenant relationship is established for each water project, involving four or more trips by the U.S. partner to the installation site.

LWW water treatment systems are sized for small communities and are usually located in clinics, churches, schools, orphanages, community centers, and hospitals.

As of February 2017, Living Waters for the World water systems have been installed at 844 sites in 25 nations: Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Cameroon, Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Ghana, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Kenya, Laos, Madagasgar, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, Philippines, Thailand, Ukraine, United States (Appalachia) and Venezuela.
