ABOUT US

Our Purpose

To share the love of Jesus and advance God’s Kingdom by serving our neighbors with water and community development projects. 

Our Beginning

Beginning with family short-term mission trips in 1997, Todd and Ann Ziems discovered that they had a heart for sharing with and reaching out to those in physical and spiritual need. Two of the greatest things people need in developing countries, including Tanzania, are the love of Jesus Christ and clean drinking water...

WHAT WE DO

Bio-Sand Water Filters

What the filters accomplish

Made of locally available materials, simple to use and maintain, a proper working water filter will remove:
• nearly all turbidity

• 100% of parasites and worms

• 98.5% of bacteria
• 70-99% of viruses 

Learn more about the process by clicking below. 

Education and Training

Learning a healthier way to live

The saying goes "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime."

We strive to not only give access to clean drinking water but also teach the importance of hygiene, water sanitation and in doing so share the wonderful gift of knowing the Living Water, Jesus Christ. Primary school students receive six lessons. Adult seminars include education in child and family health.
