WORLD WATER PROJECT IS A TEAM OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS WHO STRIVE TO DELIVER THE WORLD'S BEST HOME WATER FILTER TO THOSE IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD. IT IS ORGANIZED EXCLUSIVELY AS A SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF, TO PERFORM FUNCTIONS OF, OR TO CARRY OUT THE PURPOSES OF, THE KNOXVILLE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION, A 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION.

AFRICA MEDICAL PROVIDES SUPPORT IN THREE PRIMARY WAYS: 1) WE CONDUCT SHORT-TERM MEDICAL TRIPS COMPRISED OF U.S. SURGEONS, NURSES, AND ADMINISTRATORS WHO TRAVEL TO UGANDA THREE TIMES PER YEAR. THESE TEAMS WORK CLOSELY WITH THE PUBLIC HOSPITAL IN KAMPALA, UGANDA - MULAGO HOSPITAL - TO TRAIN INDIGENOUS NEUROSURGEONS TO PERFORM SPINE IMPLANT SURGERIES. OUR GOAL IS TO BUILD A WORLD CLASS SPINE SURGERY TEAM OF SURGEONS IN KAMPALA. MANY LOCAL UGANDANS HAVE RECEIVED STATE-OF-THE-ART SPINE IMPLANTS DUE TO THE WORK OF THIS INITIATIVE. OTHER ORTHOPEDIC SURGERIES ARE ALSO PERFORMED ON THESE SHORT-TERM TRIPS. 2) OUR DONORS ARE SUPPORTING THE WENTZ CLINIC IN KAMPALA, UGANDA. THIS ORGANIZATION PROVIDES LOW-COST AND FREE MEDICAL CARE TO POOR FAMILIES THAT RESIDE IN THE LOCAL SLUMS. ADDITIONALLY, WE SEND TEAMS THAT WORK ALONGSIDE THE MEDICAL STAFF IN SHORT-TERM MEDICAL PROGRAMS THAT WORK IN THE SLUMS. 3) WE PROVIDE WATER FILTERS THAT PROMOTE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE THROUGH ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER.
WORLD WATER PROJECT SHIPS TIVAWATER FILTERS TO KAMPALA, UGANDA, AND GUATEMALA FOR DISTRIBUTION TO POOR FAMILIES THAT DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER. IN 2019, WE ESTIMATE THAT WE PROVIDED CLEAN WATER TO APPROXIMATELY 20,000 PEOPLE. ADDITIONALLY, WE PROVIDE CONSULTING SERVICES TO THE LOCAL, INDIGENOUS DISTRIBUTORS OF THESE FILTERS ON SHORT-TERM TRIPS.
WORLD WATER PROJECT STARTED A LOCAL NONPROFIT IN KAMPALA, UGANDA - THE JESUS LEADERS NETWORK (JLN) - THAT PROVIDES MENTORING AND DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING IN THE CHRISTIAN FAITH FOR YOUNG MEN AND COUPLES. OUR LOCAL U.S. TEAM TRAVELS TO UGANDA MULTIPLE TIMES PER YEAR TO WORK CLOSELY WITH AND TRAIN THE INDIGENOUS LEADERS OF JLN. WE ESTIMATE THAT HUNDRES OF YOUNG PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED IN THE DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRY ON A WEEKLY BASIS.
