ROCKWALL, Texas (December 6, 2024) – 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.
