Living Water International- Rwanda

Since 2007, Living Water has embarked on a transformative journey in Rwanda, dedicating itself to providing safe water to communities in need. Our focus initially rested on operations, but in 2012, under the guidance of the Ministry of Natural Resources, we shifted our efforts to the Ruhango district. As our commitment deepened, Nyanza District became part of our fold in 2019. This strategic approach enables us to form meaningful connections within the very communities we serve. Our distinct approach, implementing WASH Program Areas, fosters enduring physical and spiritual development. By addressing the critical needs of water, hygiene, and sanitation, we foster ownership and sustainability, engaging communities, churches, leaders, and stakeholders. This fusion of gospel and service creates a unique tapestry of transformation, empowering local churches as leaders in their communities.
