Send your impact flowing throughout communities in need.
Your gift can help provide our vulnerable sisters and brothers in Central Vietnam with the safe and hygienic water they need to thrive.
DONATE NOWOver the past few years, industrial pollution has poisoned the oceans surrounding Central Vietnam, while poor management of chemical agriculture has contaminated freshwater sources throughout the region.
Many coastal communities have been forced to relocate inland and now depend on bottled water simply to avoid becoming sick. For Vietnam’s poorest families, the cost of clean water to drink and cook with now means they can’t afford other necessities like food, medicine and education for their children.
Today, you can give so much more than water to our sisters and brothers in need. Your generous gift can be the gift of health, of dignity, of community and of life to coastal villages throughout Central Vietnam.
DONATE NOWSince 2020, Jesuit Mission has been working with our partners at the Vietnam Province of the Society of Jesus to fund the installation of Reverse Osmosis Ultraviolet (RO UV) clean water stations in Vietnam.
These high-tech water filtration systems are too complex for communities to build themselves. But once constructed, the systems can be maintained by the local community, ensuring a sustainable source of safe and filtered water long into the future.
Over the past five years, the Vietnam Water Project has successfully provided safe, clean water to over 149,000 people throughout Central Vietnam. But with hundreds of thousands of lives still at risk, we need your help to reach more people in the central provinces.
This year, your support can help us construct a further 10 hygienic water stations – providing safe and drinkable water to an estimated 20,000 women, men and children in 10 villages in Central Vietnam.
DONATE NOWBefore the construction of the clean water station in her village, 66-year-old Lanh and her husband were paying 10,000 Dong (around 50 cents) to purchase bottled water to drink – leaving little left over to pay for anything else.
Today, she can collect four days’ worth of water from the new local water station, and only pay 1,000 Dong (5 cents) to help the community maintain the system.
Now, with the money they save on bottled water, Lanh and her husband have more left over to afford other necessities like food and medicine.
When you support the Vietnam Water Project, you are doing so much more than quenching the thirst of people like Lanh. Your gift can uplift lives and empower entire communities.
DONATE NOWFor many people in communities throughout Central Vietnam, the local hygienic water station is more than just a place to gather water. It has become a place to gather as a community.
“I love the community spirit and coming together to talk and share experiences with one another,” says 26-year-old mother of two, Nga, who visits her local water station ever three days to collect water for her family.
Nga isn’t the only one who has noticed the difference fresh water has made to their community.
77-year-old Bihn has been visiting his local water station since 2021.
“I have made many friends. It is so joyful. And I drink the water so I don’t get sick or have to buy medicine,” said Bihn.
Please support our Vietnam Water Project today and let your compassion flow into the lives of more people like Nga and Binh.
