Welcome to Living Waters International
Wonderful Progress is being made in the Villages
See our Summer 2008 update below

Currently we are working in Kenya, Africa where we assist the small communities of Kaswanga and Wanyama, two fishing villages on the eastern shores of heavily polluted Lake Victoria.

These people have had no clean drinking water, no clean water for medical care and due to heavy drought conditions that have plagued the area for the past five years, no practical way to water their small gardens. The water tank you see above was provided by Living Waters and those who support us. Many more such systems are desperately needed in the region.

These communities are home to approximately 1000 orphan children who are living in "child-run" homes which have no clean water or adequate food. These children do not live in orphanages, as there are no adults to care for or supervise them. Living Waters is committed to reducing the incidence of orphaned children and providing them with health, food and educational needs.

clean water to drink

When we started out, There were four schools within a two mile radius that had either no clean water or no water at all. Three of the schools had virtually no teaching aids, including text books, paper or writing utensils. One of the school buildings has never been completed and lacks bare necessitites such as windows and doors.

The medical clinic has extremely limited medical supplies or equipment. The surgical theater and labor and delivery rooms lack sterile equipment. This is the only medical facility within a six-hour drive, if even an automobile transport could be arranged.

"Island people from 25 miles away were asking about the garden at Kaswanga. This provided a wonderful opportunity to explain God’s love and might. I explained there were two things that made the garden so great. One, was it required a certain amount of water which is provided through drip irrigation and the second was God’s power and love." Daryl Oft- founder of Living Waters

With the help of Living Waters and all who support us, the villagers will have unlimited clean water, adequate medical care, drip irrigation gardens for food, educational assistance and orphan aid.

The compound now has 26,000 liters of stored water capacity and an improved water purification system.

There are 15,000 liter tanks that store water for garden irrigation and water purification for the feeding center. There is another 11,000 liters of water storage for the local church and community around the church.
