“Living water water mission meets people's spiritual and emotional needs through our living water program. In communities, we do this through the church and community mobilization program (ccmp). The ccmp equips local church leaders with biblically based training that helps them identify needs in their communities and proclaim the gospel in word and deed. All ccmp activities take place alongside our routine community development and wash promotion activities - working together to bring physical and spiritual transformation. In contexts with refugees and displaced people, we guide church leaders through trauma healing training so they are equipped to provide biblically based trauma-informed care. This care promotes forgiveness and reconciliation, guiding people through the grieving and healing process. We use the relationships we form through the trauma healing training to transition into a ccmp for churches that are based in the same refugee communities. When we respond to a disaster, we intentionally connect with local churches. When appropriate, we equip church leaders with trauma care tools to help meet the emotional, mental, and spiritual needs of their community. In fy2024, water mission conducted nearly 340 ccmp activities across seven countries and engaged more than 410 churches. Advocacy one of water mission's top priorities is to act as a resource that helps educate others about the global water crisis. This goal is accomplished by creating educational programs, encouraging financial support for tranformative wash solutions, and organizing events. One such event is water mission's walk for water. The flagship event in n. Charleston, sc, draws thousands of people each year, while partner and community walks raise awareness in cities across the united states and around the world. Water mission also provides educational programming for classrooms, conferences, and community events. In fy2024, water mission engaged more than 10,000 walkers through our annual walk for water event in charleston, as well as 84 other community and corporate walk events led by volunteers across the us and internationally. We also engaged more than 3,100 students through our education initiative.”
