In 2015, we partnered with Assemblies of God Cuba to serve water-stressed communities in Cuba’s Cienfuegos District. Since then, fourteen churches in the Cienfuegos District have received safe water systems, providing thousands of community members with a much-needed alternative to local water sources.
Finally, we broke new ground in Kibera, outside Nairobi. This informal community is home to nearly two million people, many of whom live in poverty. Since Kibera isn’t linked to any local water systems, most people rely on the extremely polluted Nairobi River.
Four churches in the district received safe water systems, empowering community faith leaders to serve their communities with safe water and giving thousands of people a much-needed alternative to contaminated local water sources.
In Lusera, ROTOM’s Village Outreach Centre provides medical care and financial support to over a hundred elders and their grandchildren. The new water system will empower the Outreach Centre to provide safe and effective medical care, as well as provide a reliable safe water source close to home for thousands of people in the community.
