One of the cool things HCJB Global does is help communities gain access to clean water and sanitation. After communities request HCJB Global’s help, HCJB Global engineers design the water system and coordinate the project. The benefitting communities provide most of the labor of ditch digging.

A recent blog post by Eric and Renee Fogg, HCJB Global missionaries in Shell, Ecuador, provides a first-hand account of a clean water project. Complete with photos, the story is a great example of the kinds of projects which we will be helping to happen.
