Water Purification
Safe, purified drinking water for rural communities in Honduras.
Since 2013, we have installed 14 portable WaterStep chlorination systems in communities who now have free access to safe, purified drinking water.
Volunteers with Luke 9:2 Ministries install the safe-water chlorination and purification systems and train local Hondurans to operate and maintain them, and we continue to monitor the maintenance and safety of previously installed systems. Health-and-hygiene classes for local children, and empowering local laypersons to run the systems, have engaged entire communities in health promotion — and our local physician has noted a significant drop in water-related diarrheal illness.
