Water Harvest Projects 

Providing water for life and sharing the Water of Life.
In dry, and often barren lands the availability of water is crucial to sustain life. In Rwanda many people have to travel significant distances, down and up hills, to collect water from either the local government water point, at a cost, or from rivers and streams. In many areas there is no luxury of running water at the turn of a tap. 



In 2020, Damascus Trust set up the Water Harvest Project (WHP) to provide the means for parishes to collect and store rain water from the roofs of church buildings in 10,000 litre tanks. This water is then available to the local community for people to use for cleaning and watering crops / animals. So far Damascus Trust has installed Water Harvesting Projects in 34 parishes in the Byumba diocese.
