Chapin Living Waters exists to help poor people in third world countries grow vegetables when there is insufficient rain. They offer simple, sustainable technologies for subsistence farming, bringing hope to the poorest people and the opportunity to solve their own problems. Their simple “Bucket Kit” can be a tool for outreach and church planting. Check it out at...

They serve development groups, relief organizations, and mission groups working with people in third world countries. Their "Bucket Kits", consisting of 100 feet of drip hose, fittings and connecting tubing, are ideal for poor families in communities where running water and pumps are not available. The family connects the kit to a 5-gallon bucket elevated at least 1 meter above the ground, and fills the bucket with water twice daily. This simple, inexpensive, gravity fed system will provide enough moisture for a vegetable garden large enough to feed a small family during periods when there is absolutely no rainfall.
If you are a business person, pastor, missionary, or NGO, and you feel you can use this technology, please contact Dick to obtain a bucket kit to be used as a tool for outreach. Find them on the web athttp://www.chapinlivingwaters.org/
Business as mission: Opportunity to multiply your resources for God’s Kingdom!
1. We can help you set up a pilot project!
2. Pilot project can help to grow interest in the next step:
Helping a person, group or organization become an area or country representative for us spreading the word and helping others grow enough food for their families when there is no rain.
3. A micro finance organization can help by financing a distributor. Cost? About $200.00 to start with a small inventory of “Bucket Kits”
4. Spreading the word among your contact organizations about what we do…if you or your organization does NOT want to take an active role.
There are many ways that we could work together!
Can we talk more about how we can partner together?
Helping people grow enough food for their family can be a great outreach opportunity!
1.1 Billion people will go to bed hungry tonight!

“Helping people grow food when there is no rain”
We serve development groups, relief organizations, and mission groups working with people in third world countries, by introducing programs for sustainable drought resistant vegetable production. Our work involves publishing training materials, conducting workshops and seminars in drip irrigation and basic agricultural methods for subsistence farming, and assisting in the distribution of “Bucket Kits”. In regions where we have done more extensive training and follow-up, we find that “Bucket Kit” programs are becoming largely self-sustaining.
The “Bucket Kit”, consisting of 100 feet of drip hose, fittings and connecting tubing, is ideal for poor families in communities where running water and pumps are not available. The family connects the kit to a 5-gallon bucket elevated at least 1 meter above the ground, and fills the bucket with water twice daily. This simple, inexpensive, gravity fed system will provide enough moisture for a vegetable garden large enough to feed a small family during periods when there is no rainfall. The availability of vegetables during dry seasons not only improves the nutrients in the diet, but also reduces the need for staples such as maize by as much as one-third. Many families return to purchase additional “Bucket Kits” in order to sell vegetables at a premium during the dry season, providing funds for other family needs such as clothing, schooling, and medical care.
This simple technology can be used as a tool for your community outreach or for your church planting. We can help you set up a low cost-low risk pilot project. We can work with you with micro lenders for larger projects.
Please look at our website: http://www.chapinlivingwaters.org/ for world-wide testimonies revealing how the Lord is using this simple drip irrigation system to help people grow enough food for themselves when there is little or no rain.
Please email and or call me today for more information on partnering with us in ministering to the physical needs of the people in your area of influence, creating a spiritual breakthrough that will have eternal value in the Kingdom.

How to Start a Pilot Project
1. Place 5-10 “Bucket Kits” with 5-10 families in your area.
Or “Super Bucket Kits” We can help via phone, fax and email.
2. Start a Demo plot or Garden:
By a School, Clinic, Church, Village, etc.
5-10 “Bucket Kits” or “Super Bucket Kits”
Bring in people, show how it works, use the produce it provides in your school, clinic, church.
3. Set up a ¼ acre or 1 acre system. Need water pressure.
4. Later after steps 1 and or 2, we can come in and conduct a 2-5 day training workshop: Show how and involve people, families in setting up a “Bucket Kit” and training them in other agricultural topics. Train the Trainers concept! We continue with follow up AFTER we leave. Call or email us for more details.
