Lifewater's Core Values
We are Christian.
Lifewater International's motives, methodologies, and measures of success are shaped by its Christian identity.
We believe in the inherent dignity and worth of all people.
Understanding that all people are created in God’s image and endowed with God-given gifts, Lifewater strives to treat all people with dignity and respect.
We are committed to the poor through holistic ministry.
Believing that the gospel of Jesus Christ has the power to bring wholeness to all aspects of life--spiritual, physical, emotional, and social--we work alongside the poor to understand and respond to the complex, systemic causes of poverty.
We practice partnership.
Recognizing that we cannot alleviate poverty alone, we work in partnership to bring about lasting improvements to people’s health and well-being. We believe that partnership reflects the biblical call to work together in unity.
We are committed to good stewardship.
We recognize that our resources are entrusted to us to benefit the poor. We strive to use them wisely and maintain external accountability.

Who We Are
Nearly 21 years ago, we set out to help the church in North America be the hands and feet of Jesus by serving the poorest of the poor. More than a billion people in the world live on less than a dollar a day. 884 million people lack access to safe drinking water.
For all practical purposes, these statistics refer to the same people; around the world, communities are trapped in debilitating poverty because they constantly suffer from water-related diseases and parasites, and/or because they spend long stretches of their time carrying water over long distances.
In response to this need, we implement participatory, community-based water solutions in developing countries. Since we started, we’ve completed more than 10,000 water projects (and counting!) for communities in 26 countries.

Our History
Compassion's work has grown from modest beginnings in South Korea in 1952 when American evangelist Rev. Everett Swanson felt compelled to help 35 children orphaned by the Korean conflict.
Today we have a worldwide ministry where more than 1.2 million children are now reaping the benefits of one man's clear, God-given vision.
Our founder was inspired by Matthew 15:32 where Jesus says, "I have compassion for these people...I do not want to send them away hungry" [NIV].
At Compassion we serve the spiritual, physical, social and educational needs of a child. We achieve this through four programs: the Child Sponsorship Program, the Child Survival Program, the Leadership Development Program and Complementary Interventions.
