Water at Work Ministry, Inc.

Our goal is to transform the lives of over 1.1 million people in the Dominican Republic through clean water distribution plants, business incubation, and access to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our strategy is threefold:
1) Water: Establish church-based water businesses that provide clean, safe water to communities in need. Each water plant will be equipped with advanced water purification technology and be locally led. They will sell water at a fraction of market price, making it accessible to all people (each plant will also donate free water to orphanages or other individuals who may not be able to afford our reduced prices). Profits generated will then go back into the businesses to make them sustainable for the long term.

2) Business incubation: Profits generated from the water businesses enable the churches to provide their communities with other services, including food services, evangelism ministries, and even small business spin-offs. For example, one of our water plants has established a soap-making business and another has a beauty salon. All of these businesses provide jobs and help the local economy.

3) Spiritual Growth: Our third aim is to bring people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. The water business is a vehicle that our local pastors use to meet people's needs and form relationships.

We are the capable hands of the Fundacion Water Work local staff in the DR. We have an Director General who overseas all operations in country, a compliance officer, vice president, and community development manager. They work closely with each community pastor who leads his/her water business. In the U.S., we work to raise awareness and fundraise from individuals, churches, and grants.

As of 2020, we have established eight robust church-based water plants all certified by the Ministry of Public Health in the Dominican Republic. Each plant is able to produce 500 gallons per minute of clean, safe water. We have been able to equip each plant with a distribution truck so that water is delivered to as many people as possible. On average, each water plants serves 3,000-5,000 people. The majority of our water plants are turning a profit every year and reinvesting those funds into their businesses and communities. We plant establish more water plants as funding is available.
