Ministry completes historic ‘neighbors serving neighbors’ clean water project

The Bucket Ministry provides God’s love and safe drinking water to more than 400,000 residents of one of the largest slums in Africa

The Bucket Ministry, a nonprofit committed to sharing God’s love through the gift of clean water, today marked the completion of a five-year effort to provide generational access to safe drinking water and the love of Jesus to every resident living in Kibera, a slum located outside Nairobi, Kenya.

Through the efforts of 100 local Kenyan missionaries, the majority (98%) of whom live in Kibera, The Bucket Ministry distributed 81,777 Sawyer© PointONE filters connected to buckets, providing all 408,478 Kibera residents with access to clean water. The missionaries subsequently conducted three in-home, follow-up visits with each recipient, ensuring water filters were properly maintained and building relationships to share a Gospel message and disciple individuals. | More
