Every day in rural communities and poor urban centers throughout Kenya, millions of people suffer from a lack of access to clean, safe water. It is estimated in developing counties like Kenya, that 80% of all illnesses are caused by water borne diseases with diarrhea leading to dehydration , which while fatal can also be easily prevented. That is why we at Divine Providence Training Center have partnered with Living Water to install a water purification system for our well that will sanitize the water from harmful minerals and deadly bacteria that causes water borne illnesses.
This system will allow us to provide clean water to our students, staff and the community of Matasia in which we serve. It will also allow us to bottle water to help us sustain our ministry and the well. Your gift today toward our $20,000 fundraising goal will mean the difference in a healthier and sustainable community. We are thankful that Living Water is providing $20,000 of the $40,000 needed to make this project possible.

More About the System
The system that we are set to install will clean all the sediments and contaminants free from any bacteria (ECOLI). Also all the Calcium build up will be completely removed. Following the treatment process, the water can be bottled and sold for community consumption in accordance to commercial bottling test standards for The Kenyan Government Water Purification Standards.

Water Project Update
The Water project in Kenya began to allow the ministry to purify its water so that it could bottle water to generate funds for student scholarships to Divine Providence Training Center, improve the living conditions at our retreat center, provide clean water to the local community, and to utilize other filters and carrying devices for our pastors who serve in rural areas.
The majority of our pastors serve in areas where access to clean water is not an easy process. Women often walk many hours and miles over rugged terrain to bring back water to their villages. The water is usually from an unclean source and needs to be filtered. In order to assist in getting clean water to these remote regions, DPTC has partnered with two other ministries: Uzima and Partners for Care. Uzima sells simple filtration devices that have no electrical costs and can provide families with clean water for up to 10 years. Partners for Care have designed a lightweight back pack so that individuals can carry large amounts of water home without injuring their necks and backs.
