Clean Water for Nicaragua-  A Partnership with Living Waters of the World and FPC Temple.

 

The First Presbyterian Church of Temple, Texas is committed to building partnerships and bringing clean, potable water to communities in rural Nicaragua to improve the health and wellbeing of their community and neighboring areas.  We are working in partnership with Living Waters for the World which trains and equips mission teams to share the gift of sustainable clean water. 

 

In March of 2014, we visited several communities in need, and met with community leaders to develop a partnership. Clean Water University Trainees Eric Jezek, Donna Bowling, and David Smith along with Dr. Belinda Forbes, AMC Director, and Juan, in- country facilitator for LWW. While the community is building their resources to prepare for the installation of a system, and a plan for long term maintenance, our mission team is working to raise funds for the purchase of needed equipment for the system.  Our LWW trainees and other volunteers will travel to Las Lajas, Nicaragua in March 2015 to oversee the installation of the system, train local partners in the running and maintenance of the system, and train local educators, health workers, teachers and school children in good sanitation and hygiene practices to improve the health of their community.  We will also provide trainings in El China and La Candelaria, nearby communities that will also benefit from the clean water system in Las Lajas.  

 

And the cycle will continue, as we seek new communities in need of Clean Water, establish new partnerships, and continue to share the gift of Clean Water.  Each system we install costs approximately $5000 for parts and materials. If you would like to help support this vital mission, or learn more about it, please contact one of the mission committee members.
