In October of 2016, Run4Water conducted a survey trip in Uganda and Kenya and confirmed that we could offer aid for those in need. Run4Water works in Africa to provide wells, pumps, and tools to repair wells that are in disrepair.  The team has also worked to bring water and functional footwear to a leper colony. 

In addition to water, we also launched our women's ministry 84 DAYS in several villages in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. 84 days is the average number of days girls and young women miss school/work due to a lack of feminine hygiene products. We provide reusable and sanitary products for the women in the villages we work with. 84 Days has become an instrumental complementary ministry intertwining water and health by providing females equitable access to opportunities (education and work) through sustainable hygiene practices.

These women are the embodiment of the water crisis. They sacrifice education, safety, and health to draw water from an unclean source.

Many children drink water drawn from contaminated sources.

Men working to prepare their well with the tools Run4Water was able to provide.

Many organizations dig wells, but that is a small piece of the puzzle. Organizations must make these water solutions sustainable by educating villagers and empowering them to maintain their wells.

Specialized tools along with the skills to repair wells are necessary components to sustainability.

Run4Water believes that organizations must make commitments to educate and maintain relationships to ensure that the wells continue to be operational.

Relationships are essential in providing water solutions. We want to unite communities around the living water, not divide them.

An unexpected ministry developed when Greg realized his TEVA sandals were perfect for the misshapen feet of his new leper friends.

Sharing the love of God with children is always a highlight of ministry wherever we go.
