WATERS OF THE LIVING LORD


Through our experience with Living Waters for the World (LWW) we have been challenged to meet the needs of communities with the need for safe drinking water that could not easily be met with the standard equipment systems endorsed by LWW.

The first such community we worked in is an orphanage for boys in the city of El Progresso, Honduras named Pro Nino.  This orphanage is home to 70-90 boys ranging in age from 4 years old to their teens. 

The standard LWW system is designed to fill 5 gallon bottles for distribution, requires an operator and uses electricity.  The orphanage at Pro Nino had electricity but no funds for an operator and they required running water (at taps) at 4 separate locations to serve dormitories and the kitchen.

We designed a simple system working with established vendors to meet the unique needs of this community.  Since we did not use LWW equipment we were advised that we could not continue to use the name Living Waters for the World for the name of this mission.  We sought and received permission from LWW to use all of the health and hygiene training materials that have been instrumental to the success of our earlier installations.  We renamed our mission that uses this type of equipment design Waters for the Living Lord.

Our second installation was in the mountain village of Concordia, Honduras.  Since electricity is unreliable and water pressure is always available (via an elevated cistern tank) we redesigned a system that uses no electricity.  The initial report, after 2 months of operation, is that the system is performing well.
