Honduras Well Project and Agua Viva Internacional
Honduras Well Projects is a non-profit, American organization started by five friends who
saw a great need for clean water in Northern Honduras. Agua Viva Internacional is a non-profit organization in LaCeiba Honduras with nearly 20 years of well drilling experience and a huge heart for ministry.
These two organizations partnered together to bring short term teams from the United States alongside the Agua Viva team to help drill wells and provide hygiene training for kids and families in the community they are drilling in. Through these service projects, Agua Viva and the HWP team have a great opportunity to share the love and truth of Jesus Christ while meeting practical needs.
Clean Water Wells in Honduras
Calvary partners with Living Water International and Honduras Well Projects to demonstrate the love of God by helping communities acquire desperately needed clean water, and to experience "living water"--the gospel of Jesus Christ--which alone satisfies the deepest thirst. Since 2011, Calvary has raised over $80,000 to fund 15 wells in Honduras and surrounding countries. In 2014, teams from Calvary started going to Honduras to help drill wells and teach Bible and hygiene classes. Typically, 8 members help on a drill team and 4 members lead hygiene and Bible lessons for the women and children of the village. You do not need experience in well drilling or construction to help on this trip. Teams from Calvary have gone to Honduras, Nicaragua, and Haiti. For more information about future trips, contact Amy Anthony at missions@yourcalvary.church for more information.
Honduras
Honduras is a country in Central America with a population of about 10,947,000 people. Honduras has around 22 different people groups with at least one known unreached people group. Honduras is 96% Christian adherent with the second largest religion in the country being non-religious making up 2% of the population.
In 1998, Honduras was hit by Hurricane Mitch and 75% of the country was left with unsafe
drinking water. This is due to two primary reasons: contaminated water and lack of access to water sources like wells. Today, around 1.2 million Hondurans do not have access to clean water.
