Who We Are
Lifewater International ("Lifewater") is a non-profit Christian community development organization dedicated to effectively serving vulnerable children and families by partnering with underserved communities to overcome water poverty. With experience in more than 40 countries since 1977, Lifewater serves people by providing them with contextually appropriate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions. We walk alongside families, leaders, schools, and churches to overcome all forms of water poverty by helping them learn to live in healthy relationship with God and the environment and to recognize how small changes can transform their life and community.
We serve communities in the rural regions of East Africa and Southeast Asia, with active programs in Cambodia, Ethiopia, Uganda, and Tanzania; countries with a desperate lack of resources to provide basic water and sanitation services to rural children and families. We have offices in Bentonville, AR; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Kampala, Uganda; Shinyanga, Tanzania; and Siem Reap, Cambodia, as well as individual program offices. Since our inception, Lifewater’s worldwide team has impacted the lives of more than 2.5 million people. And we’re just getting started.
