For the majority of people who are reading this article, there is no doubt in their mind that when they turn on a faucet, water will come out.

However, for people living here in the Dominican Republic, water is a precious commodity, and they often go without. In the Sosua area, water may be “delivered” through the pipes every three to four days but many areas can go months without getting any street water. Our properties are no exception. Thanks to some very generous donors, we were able to drill not one…but two wells in 2021!

The preschool children in Playa Chiquita are so happy to have clean running water at their school.

The first well was drilled at our property in Playa Chiquita, where we have our health center, a church, and preschool. We had gone months without getting street water and would often have to buy trucks of water. Praise the Lord…we were able to drill a well there in September! The second well was drilled in Los Castillos, where we have a church and a school. God blessed us and we were able to find water there on our second drilling attempt! We thank God for His provision of water for our schools and churches.~Heather Williams Katz
