Clean Water. Healthy Lives.

Samaritan's Purse has WASH projects in many countries, including Vietnam, Cambodia, Liberia, Niger, Ukraine, and more. As we bring clean water and sanitation to those in need, it opens doors for us to share about the Living Water.

For instance, Samaritan's Purse is rebuilding wells and providing water filtration for families in remote areas of Liberia, where Weah and his family live. They were getting sick from contaminated water in their village, but then Weah attended a training at a local church where he received one of our filtration systems. Now he can treat water from a nearby spring and their health has improved. Through our training Weah also came to know the Lord Jesus Christ. I understood that I have not been living for God. I realized I was not ready to meet Jesus. But now I am. I have received Jesus into my life. I am grateful.

In Ukraine, many basic services, including water, have been affected by the ongoing conflict. In response, Samaritan's Purse has provided over 11 million gallons of clean water during the past year. We drilled a well at Pastor *Sasha's church in the Donetsk region and now scores of people come there every day to fill up. “The water site is a huge blessing and a huge help,” he said. “Since the beginning of the war, a lot of people have changed their attitude toward the church.” As we partner to provide water, food, and other aid, Pastor Sasha said his church's services have now quadrupled in size.
