Program areas at WMI

Safe Water for communities: 2 billion people lack access to safe Water. The global Water crisis impacts every facet of life. Children miss school due to deadly water-related illnesses. Parents struggle to provide for their families when so many hours are spent collecting Water. Access to safe Water is life-changing for these men, women, and children. It builds health and hope, creating educational and economic opportunities that can help break the cycle of poverty. The global Water crisis is enormous and urgent, but there is hope. Water Mission is a christian engineering nonprofit that builds sustainable safe Water solutions for people in developing countries, refugee camps, and disaster areas. Our designs account for geographical and cultural context, employing quality standards expected in developed countries.
Disaster response: following a disaster, access to safe Water is essential to prevent the spread of waterborne illnesses and provide other critically needed services like food, shelter, and medical attention. Water Mission specializes in safe Water and sanitation solutions for communities impacted by disasters. Our team works in partnership with local governments and fellow response organizations to provide immediate aid and implement long-term solutions that help communities better prepare for future disasters. Wherever we work, we show the hope of god's love to those experiencing tremendous loss.
Safe Water for refugees: there are more than 100 million forcibly displaced people worldwide, 40% of whom are children. Water Mission serves men, women, and children who have been forced to leave their homes due to violence, persecution, political instability, food insecurity, or natural disasters. Within refugee settings, sound engineering standards and speed are crucial. Ensuring projects are implemented right the first time is a lifesaving imperative, and our technical expertise drives operational excellence. Because of this commitment to excellence, unhcr and unicef continue to seek long-term partnerships with Water Mission to develop and install safe Water solutions in refugee contexts. Water Mission's solutions help refugees experience healthier and more dignified living conditions.
