About Me |
|
| Lifewater International is a Christian training organization with water development goals. We understand the basic need in our world for safe water, improved hygiene, and adequate sanitation. We believe that the solutions to these problems can be addressed through the development of local communities. Qualified Lifewater Field Trainers (FTs) travel to developing countries to train nationals to improve local drinking water supplies and community health. National crews are able to continue working and training others after FTs return home. They share the gospel message of living water with communities as they help break the cycle of disease and poverty.

Minta Aboagye is the chairman of the local organizing committee of the conference. He told VOA reporter Joana Mantey that the weeklong meeting will identify challenges in meeting the Millennium development goals, which advocate improving access to clean water and sanitation by 2015. http://www.voanews.com/english/2008-04-07-voa33.cfm UNICEF/NOA move to safeguard water The quest of the National Orientation Agency (NOA) for environmental cleanliness has been taken to another level with collaboration with the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) aimed at curbing water pollution and ensuring availability of safe drinking water for all. http://www.thetidenews.com/article.aspx?qrDate=04/07/2008&am p;qrTitle=UNICEF/NOA%20move%20to%20safeguard%20water&qrC olumn=ENVIRONMENT BioShaft Water Technology Inc.
