Living Water International

From Day 1 of The Wells Project, Living Water International has been behind us all the way. We believe in the work of LWI, and there's no one we'd rather partner with. LWI has a long history of excellence and sustainability, and we're proud to partner with an organization that places sharing the love of Jesus as their highest priority.
