Posted on by Meguil Ethan Gonzales

Nairobi, Kenya – August 20, 2024 – Water 4 Mercy, in partnership with CultivAid, proudly announces the official opening of the Sustainable Agriculture Innovation and Technology Center (AITeC) at Mount Carmel Convent in Nairobi. The launch event, held on August 7, 2024, marked a significant milestone in the quest to provide sustainable food sources and empower communities across Africa.

The ceremony was honored by the presence of Archbishop Philip Anyolo, whose involvement highlighted the initiative’s significance within the Catholic and Christian communities globally. Archbishop Anyolo’s blessing of the AITeC farm, conducted with a branch dipped in holy water while attendees recited the Hail Mary, symbolized the spiritual foundation of this project. This poignant moment was captured in a video titled “Archbishop Anyolo in Nairobi – Planting Seeds of Hope.”

In her address, Nermine Rubin, Founder of Water 4 Mercy, expressed deep gratitude to the Sisters of Mount Carmel for their steadfast faith and prayers, which she described as the cornerstone of the project. “To all the Sisters of Mount Carmel, I extend my deepest appreciation for your unwavering prayers and faithfulness. Your spiritual support has been the foundation upon which this project was built,” Rubin said. She also thanked the Salesian priests and the Don Bosco Institute of Africa for their crucial support in empowering youth through education and community engagement.

Rubin further acknowledged the dedicated efforts of the AITeC team at Don Bosco in Embu and the renowned agronomists at CultivAid. Their expertise in training and support has been vital in implementing innovative agricultural practices, enabling long-term success for the Sisters.

The event underscored the essential role of water in fostering sustainable livelihoods. AITeC’s mission extends beyond agriculture, aiming to ensure access to nutritious food and empower individuals to thrive. The center stands as a symbol of hope, demonstrating how innovative agricultural methods can maximize crop yields and economic returns.

Rubin also commended the generous donors of Water 4 Mercy, whose contributions have been pivotal in realizing this project. Their support exemplifies the power of collective action in driving positive change.

As Water 4 Mercy advances its water and agricultural initiatives across Africa, the AITeC at Mount Carmel Convent represents a beacon of what can be accomplished when faith, innovation, and community converge.

Water 4 Mercy Celebrates Clearwater Central Catholic High School Students Impactful Mission in Tanzania

Posted on by admin

July 24, 2024 /Presslink Media/ — Water 4 Mercy. Founded by Nermine Khouzam Rubin in 2018, Water 4 Mercy, a USA based non-profit organization focused on addressing the severe water and food shortages in sub-Saharan Africa, is proud to share the incredible achievements of six dedicated students from Clearwater Central Catholic High School who traveled to Tanzania this summer to provide life giving water and food to villages in dire need.

Their behind the scenes experience was recently featured on ABC Action News, highlighting the passion and commitment of our volunteers.

Journey to Tanzania

The students’ journey to Tanzania was filled with profound experiences and heartfelt interactions. Each village welcomed them with dancing, chanting, and gifts. Gracie Chung, a junior expressed, “They gave us such a warm welcome, and they were so happy to see us.“

During their stay, the students experienced the harsh realities of water scarcity, including the laborious process villagers endure to collect water. Since its inception, Water 4 Mercy has made a lasting impact, installing clean water systems in 19 villages and enhancing the overall well-being of the region by providing nutritious food to approximately 70,000 people, leading to improved health and quality of life.” This number is soon to increase as we committed to adopting another village during this trip.

The highlight of the trip was the inauguration of the agricultural drip irrigation system at Mabalangu Village, marked by a plaque bearing the school’s name. Senior and Water 4 Mercy board liaison Alivia Tevis shared, “Since 2021, we’ve raised over $36,000 through fundraisers, and it’s beautiful to see our efforts result in clean drinking water and now nutritious food for the Mabalangu villagers.”

Water 4 Mercy trains the village members to maintain new water systems and introduces advanced agricultural techniques, ensuring long-term sustainability and economic growth.

Water 4 Mercy continually seeks donors to support their mission, with the goal of making more villages fully sustainable. “It costs $100,000 to make a village fully sustainable,” Rubin noted, hoping the ABC Action News segment will inspire more people to contribute.

Water 4 Mercy is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing sustainable water solutions to communities in sub-Saharan Africa, transforming lives through the gift of clean water and agricultural training.
