Global Partners: Running Waters, Inc.


School Sisters of Notre Dame are called and sent to be transformed and to transform our world. It is in right relationship – with God and all of God's creation – that true transformation happens. As members of an international community, our sisters have lived through and seen the results of war, suffering, and inhuman living conditions. The Milwaukee province welcomes those who want to share in our global efforts to make this a better world through right relationships and genuine partnerships.

 


Welcome to the Partnership
Global Partners: Running Waters, Inc. (GPRW) is a nonprofit organization established to build relationships through collaboration on water, food and health projects in Latin America. Its roots lie in the mission experiences of Jan Gregorcich, SSND, who lived and worked with the people of Guatemala and Honduras for 12 years. Sister Jan says that she is connecting people in North America with people in Latin America. After initial relationships are established, working together on projects deepens a partnership.

 

GPRW believes that, through the building of relationships with the people of Central America:

GPRW strives to extend God’s work of being and bringing Good News by recognizing the need for water to survive, along with the need for relationships to live fully.

"Let anyone who thirsts come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as scripture says: 'Rivers of living water will flow from within.'" –John 7:37-38

“I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.” –John 10:10


GPRW Mission:

  1. Create and maintain relationships that will foster the education and empowerment of people in rural Latin America, so they can build organizations dedicated to improving their own health;
  2. Provide financial and other resources to such Latin American organizations to assist with research, engineering, drilling, construction, and maintenance of basic water distribution systems, and to assist with solutions to shortages of healthful food and other basic needs; and
  3. Collaborate with governmental and United Nations agencies, and with non-governmental and faith-based organizations that have similar goals.
