Mission |
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.
When
we first came here these people had no clean
drinking water, no clean water for medical care
and due to heavy drought conditions they had
no practical way to water their small gardens.
These
communities are home to approximately 1000 orphan
children who are living in "child-run" homes
which had no clean water or adequate food. There
are no orphanages, as there are no adults to
care for or supervise them. Living
Waters has been working here since 2006 and is
committed to reducing the incidence of orphaned
children and providing them with health, food
and educational needs. |

Living
Waters continues to provide meals, school uniforms
and basic medical care to 135 orphan children. With
the solar oven, the fresh water and the flourishing
gardens the dedicated local staff are working hard
to produce daily meals and caring for the children.
Daryl and Mary Jo along with the children and staff
wish to extend our sincere thanks to all who continue
to support this vital lifesaving program which is
making a real difference in the lives of so many
of God's children.

to educate the villagers how to access available resources
for the education and treatment of HIV/AIDS.

people’s needs and providing positive choices
