Water Filter Training in Cameroon

Water is LIFE. However, in Africa millions of men, women, and children become sick and/or die due to contaminated water. Africa Oasis Water Solutions aims to provide bucket filters for families who do not have access to clean drinking water.

Children under the age of 5 are especially vulnerable to illness and death from contaminated drinking water.

Africa Oasis partnered with the local missionary team and the national church in Cameroon for a family bucket filter distribution. A local church agreed to lead the project. Ten church members volunteered for filter training. This training, provided by Africa Oasis, included teaching on the importance of clean drinking water, filter use and maintenance, WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) training, and a spiritual component of Jesus as the Living Water.

This project was done in conjunction with a church plant in a gospel-resistant area. People were shown the love of Christ, health was improved, and a church was planted! Word and Deed with a focus on local ownership is how we fulfill our vision of “Local Churches Transforming Communities.”
