Making clean water a reality, one village at a time!
Welcome to the partnership!
Clean water means happy smiles!
In his message on Sept 1, 2018 Pope Francis reiterated his point from “Laudato Si” in which he called all people to respect water as a precious element and that “access to safe drinkable water is a basic and universal human right, since it is essential to human survival and, as such, is a condition for the exercise of other human rights.” Unfortunately there are many people who are without this basic element.
Global Partners Running Waters(GPRW) as a nonprofit organization, 501(c)(3) has been working with the people in rural communities in Central America to make access to water a reality --- one village at a time. Members of the organization emphasize the between relationship between humanity and creation, in particular water. Participants seek to form collaborative affiliations that will enable people to have access to “Sister Water”, as Saint Francis put it, because without it nothing else on earth can exist. Water is fundamental to all life. After initial connections are established, it is the working together on projects that deepens a sense of partnership and goes beyond a focus water to the other necessities of food, health care, and education projects in Latin America.
GPRW believes that building relationships with the people of Latin America can offer opportunities in which people:
The roots of GPRW lie in the mission experiences of Sister Jan Gregorcich (SSND), who lived and worked with the people of Guatemala & Honduras during a period of 12 years. As a result, GPRW was established as an affiliated ministry of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, who are dedicated and passionate in their mission to serve the poor. Their mission greatly aligns with that of GPRW.

On Sunday, June 3, 2018. Central America’s most active volcano erupted, causing more fatalities than any of those previously recorded at Fuego, near Antiguia, Guatemala.
Many of the communities are densely populated, and the villages are right on the foothills of the volcano.---many people did not have time to flee. More than 2 million people have been affected. Official reports estimate at least 159 people killed, 57 injured, and 256 missing. Many people were forced to flee their homes because of the cloud of toxic volcanic ash which rose 16,000 feet. Entire villages have been wiped out. Large areas of the other communities remain covered in ash as far away as Joyabaj, (about a three hours drive or 72 Km away from the eruption site in Antigua.) The land and water in the affected area will be unusable for years to come. As of November 28, 2018 seismic activity was still reported. |
