One-For-One Campaign: 2020
Goal (completed):
$10,000 goal was set by our partner, Vestergaard-LifeStraw, for the Emergency Clean Water Fund to provide filters in Central America. For every dollar donated, Replenish matched up to $5,000.
As a result of hurricanes Eta and Iota, the people in Central America were in desperate need of clean water. In partnership with LifeStraw we helped provide large capacity filters to communities hit hard by the floods. Together, we were able to help meet that goal! To God be the glory for our shared mission, and may the people be blessed as we demonstrated God's love through our gift of clean water!

Island Campaign: 2017-2020
Goal (completed):
all schools on Mfangano Island, Kenya will have access to clean water by 2020. GOAL ACHIEVED in 2019!
Mfangano Island is a remote island in Lake Victoria, Kenya. This lake is the source of water for the entire population and is highly contaminated. We have partnered with the county government and school headmasters in the region to support the education program through placement of water filtrations systems in the schools and churches. Through this campaign, our goal was to provide clean water access to every school on Mfangano Island by 2020. To God’s glory, we have reached this goal! Our in-country support team continues to monitor the filters for continued effectiveness.
