Our Mission

Hope Water International (HWI) was launched in 2017 from Hope Water Project (HWP) as an effort to have a wider reach and impact on individuals, churches and organizations to help provide access to clean water worldwide. We believe that clean water not only saves lives but creates life.

$436,000

This was the amount of money that we were able to raise in our inaugural year. We could never have accomplished this without the efforts of all our hard-working fundraising partners that participated in a race and ran, walked and dragged themselves across the many finish lines.

Since 2000, 1.4 billion people have gained access to basic drinking water services.

Kenya

Number of wells: 7
Cost per well: $25,000
Kenya total: $175,000

Partner: Pokot Outreach Ministry (POM)

This isn't just dry numbers, but 14,000 people in Kenya now have access to clean water because of the $175,000 raised! These wells only cost about $12 per person, a small cost for providing these communities with hope and the potential to cultivate their true potential.

Sierra Leone

Number of wells: 12
Cost per well: $10,000
Sierra Leone total: $120,000

Partner: World Hope International (WHI)

Those 12 wells are providing 9,000 individuals a basic human necessity of water. For only $13 per person, many no longer have to walk hours each day to have access to clean water in Sierra Leone. This life changing amount of $13 is the equivalent of 3 trips to the neighborhood coffee shop for many in America.

Thank you for partnering with Hope Water International in 2017 to make a lasting impact in Kenya and Sierra Leone. At Hope Water International, the project does not end with the completion of a well. We believe as faithful servants of the Gospel, we must create sustainable projects by equipping local churches, partners and third-party evaluators so that the wells are maintained long after we leave.

We are excited to see what 2018 has in store for Hope Water International.
