With this important phrase in mind, Covenant World Relief is excited about the new venture with our partner, Water 1st, in Honduras. The major undertaking of this project is to provide reliable domestic water supply to two different communities in Honduras. The two communities of San Bartolo and Capuca are joining together in an effort to connect the communities to a mountain spring through a water system. Every house and community center will join schools, clinics, and churches, in having a connection to the system. Community members will be trained on the care and maintenance of this project and continue to learn about ways to protect the health of those in the community. This project will affect over 100 households in these two communities.
The CWR partner on the ground is Water 1st who works through a local partner organization called Cocepradil. They believe that the community has the potential to accomplish things that the communities themselves may not believe at the outset. This belief in the worth and dignity of every individual, including the world’s poorest, is a real expression of God’s love for everyone.
