2. Store & distribute
Water is stored in tanks and distributed by gravity, with water checks and appropriate treatment for drinking.

Rooted in Prayer Growing in Service
One man praying.
A movement of hope.
In 2016 Pastor Festus Langat began praying for clean water for his community in Bomet, Kenya. That same year, half way across the globe, Mary Eggert founded Global Water Works.
Today, pastors, water experts, volunteers, and generous partners pray together each week and work together to demonstrate God's Abundance through clean water---and make disciple who make disciples.
"My children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth" 1 John 3:18
Give Water .
Help hope take root.
