Nick and Heidi Griffiths live in a small village in Kenya with their son, Gilly. Nick is a civil engineer and helps provide fresh drinking water via wells and water filtration systems. Heidi is a trained EMT and assists in medical ministries in the area. They work alongside local Kenyan churches to reach the unreached, and their ministry creates opportunities for sharing the gospel and encourages discipleship.

Here, the Griffiths share the opportunity to provide a water filter for a Samburu family.

Our family lives in a small village among the Samburu people of Kenya. The women and children who live here walk an average of four miles each day to fetch water for their families. They scoop water out of the local watering hole that collects water when it rains. This watering hole is used for many purposes in our village. People wash clothes in it, take baths in it, and the family livestock drink from and defecate in this watering hole, too. At the end of the day, a five-liter jerry can is filled with this unsafe water and taken home to drink.

The Lord called our family to Samburu, Kenya to help our neighbors learn about the effects of unsafe drinking water and, in turn, how to construct a water filtration system that produces safe drinking water. 

We have successfully constructed three water filtration systems within our village and have provided training sessions for our neighbors about safe and unsafe drinking water. The water filters have been a big hit! These filters create a source for sharing the gospel with our neighbors.

The need for clean water and the Living Water is great in Samburu! Will you help us by sponsoring a water filter for the Samburu people? The cost is $300 per system, and the materials used are all purchased locally. Offer this as a project for your church or small group. With a water filter, the Samburu can continue to use the same watering holes, but now we can help them make the water they carry home to their families safe to drink.
