You can live without food for up to forty days, but without water, only about seven days. We need clean water to survive. Clean water is inaccessible to about 884 million people around the globe. Through organizations like Living Water, and through well drilling in places like Mozambique, Kosmos supports efforts to bring people water to drink, as well as the “living water” of Jesus Christ.

Living Water International

Water. It is at the heart of a daily crisis faced by a billion of the world’s most vulnerable people—a crisis that threatens life and destroys livelihoods on a devastating scale.

At Living Water International, we are addressing this most basic of needs by helping deprived communities acquire safe, clean water. Our goal is to substantially ease the global water crisis while addressing root causes such as injustice, oppression, and abject poverty. As this happens, communities and worldviews are transformed—both among those in desperate physical need, and among those who have been blessed with much.
