A need for clean water at Presbyterian schools and churches is the reason this partnership was formed. In 2012 St. James, Green Mountain, and First Presbyterian Church Littleton joined together to raise funds for the drilling of water wells. St. Paul joined the partnership in 2019.
Communities around the schools and churches have access to this clean water. The health benefit is tremendous as water borne diseases are greatly reduced. Gardens provide a better diet and also hands on learning of agriculture for students. With the clean water source, churches can have a preschool.
We estimate that 10,000 people now have access to clean water, and more will benefit as additional wells are drilled.
