Oasis Church

A Message from Philip Wagner

I’ll never forget the day I became aware of the fact that 1 billion people on the planet do not have access to clean water. Could this really be true? I did not realize that our world was experiencing a clean water crisis that impacted a billion people. If I want water, I just go to a faucet or buy a bottle of water. This information left me speechless. Could it be true that every 15 seconds a child dies of a water related disease? The sad reality is yes.

I began talking to my family, friends, and church to rally support. I asked our church to give and we raised funds to help build a clean water well for a village in Malawi. We began to sell Generosity Water bottles to raise awareness about the crisis and funds to build more water projects. As we continued to raise awareness, more funds came in and we helped build and rehab 10 projects in Ethiopia. The project gained momentum and Generosity Water was born.

Generosity Water quickly grew and in 2008, my son Jordan, who had been involved since the beginning, became our Executive Director. After just 3 years, we’ve built 242 water wells and 8 cisterns in 17 countries serving over 100,000 people with clean, safe drinking water. I am excited for our future and the work to be done. There are many more communities and people that need our help, so we’re just getting started. For more information, please visit www.GenerosityWater.com.
