Walk for Water
The Water Project
Over 2 million children die yearly from preventable water-related illnesses. The non-profit organization Living Waters for the World (LWW) addresses the need for clean water by connecting churches and organizations in the US with communities in the developing world to install and maintain water purification systems and to promote long-term relationships between the US organizations and the community partners. In 2019, Grace First Presbyterian Church entered into a covenant with Living Waters for the World. The Grace First Water Team went through training with LWW and, in January 2020, traveled to Huánuco, Peru, to meet and work with two communities in need of clean water. Our subsequent trips to install the water system have been interrupted by the global pandemic, but we continue to pray for our partner communities and hope to resume work with them as soon as it is safe to do so. More information about LWW can be found at their website.
