Curious about our history of partnership in Zambia? In 2010, former Living Water Project board member Caroline Martin was volunteering as a clinical supervisor with Harding University’s Speech Pathology group at Zambia’s Namwianga Mission. As she was riding to the airport to return to the United States, she struck up a conversation with her driver. Caroline asked him if any villages in the area needed clean water, and he replied that yes, there was a dire, practically unlimited need.
The driver was Shadreck Sibwaalu, a native Zambian who has managed the well-building work of the mission since 2004. That conversation began a fruitful partnership that continues to today. Since 2011, Living Water has partnered with the Namwianga Mission to oversee the construction of 103 water wells, with more than $400,000 committed to clean water projects.
For more about the Living Water Project’s Zambia connection, read Caroline’s first-hand account on this previous blog post, and watch a presentation from Board Member Kevin Colvett in this YouTube video.
