Maseya Village, Africa – June 3, 2025 – As the world prepares to celebrate Father’s Day and honor International Child Protection Day on June 1st, Water 4 Mercy proudly shares impactful updates from the field and a call to action that uplifts families, empowers fathers, and protects the future of children across Africa.
Project Update: Empowering the Maasai—Brick by Brick, Pepper by Pepper
In Maseya Village, a transformation is underway. Thanks to generous donor support, Water 4 Mercy’s solar-powered water system continues to operate flawlessly, eliminating waterborne illness and ending treacherous walks to distant, contaminated water sources. Access to clean water is fueling much more than hydration—it is igniting community growth.
Men are molding bricks to build homes, farmers are cultivating lush pepper crops, and families are experiencing food security and renewed dignity. The project embodies the spirit of Tikkun Olam, a Hebrew phrase meaning “Repairing the World.”
Nermine Khouzam Rubin Addresses the Knights of Columbus
During a recent speech to the Florida Council of the Knights of Columbus, Water 4 Mercy’s Founder, Nermine Khouzam Rubin, shared how access to water and agricultural education is restoring the dignity of work for men in Africa.
“Work is dignity. Work is purpose. When a man can provide for his family, he stands tall again,” she told the gathering, stirring hearts and inspiring action.
This initiative is not about giving handouts, but about offering a hand-up—reviving families and communities through opportunity, hope, and self-sufficiency.
A Father’s Day Message of Impact
Father’s Day is more than a celebration—it’s a reminder of the essential role fathers play in securing their children’s futures. Water 4 Mercy sees this every day in the field. Clean water, nutritious food, and agricultural training equip fathers to protect and provide for their families. With your support, children are freed from the burden of hunger and thirst—and given the chance to dream, learn, and grow.
This June, honor a father figure by giving the gift of hope and sustainability to families in Africa.
A Story That Inspires: “The Most Wonderful Rain”
In partnership with Susan Joy Bellavance, Nermine co-authored the children’s book “The Most Wonderful Rain.” A heartfelt tale that celebrates generosity and kindness, every purchase supports Water 4 Mercy’s life-saving mission. Available now on Amazon.
