Pakistan, planned for Fall 2025
RipplAffect is continuing its life-saving work in Pakistan with a new initiative planned for Fall 2025. In collaboration with Karachi Adventist Hospital, Pakistan Union, pastors and Patras Bahadur, Director of the Global Center for Adventist-Muslim Relations at the General Conference, we will distribute 900 water filtration systems to provide safe drinking water to communities severely affected by waterborne diseases. This initiative builds on our previous efforts in the region and aims to address the ongoing water crisis that puts thousands of lives at risk.
In this short video, Dr. Vimla John, CEO of Karachi Adventist Hospital, highlights the urgent need for clean water by showing a local water source where sewage and drinking water are tragically mixed. This dire situation has led to widespread illness and underscores the critical importance of RipplAffect’s intervention. With your support, we can bring clean water and better health to families in need across Pakistan.
Ghana, upcoming in later Summer 2025
In 2025, RipplAffect is continuing its impactful partnership with Mission Driven Purpose to bring clean, safe drinking water to rural communities in Ghana. Through the distribution of 1,000 long-lasting water filtration systems, thousands of families—especially children—will be protected from waterborne diseases and experience improved health and well-being. Combined with hygiene education and spiritual encouragement, this initiative offers a sustainable solution that transforms lives—one filter, one family, one village at a time.
The Philippines, June – October 2025
RipplAffect is continuing its impactful work in the Philippines through an ongoing partnership with Project Propel, expanding our clean water initiatives even further in 2025. This phase includes the distribution of an additional 1,000 water filtration systems, providing safe drinking water to 1,000 more families.
As we continue our mission, we remain committed to empowering more communities across the Philippines with the tools they need for a healthier future—bringing hope and life through safe, sustainable water solutions. This initiative is part of our long-term vision to improve health and well-being in underserved areas, ensuring lasting access to clean water for years to come.
Dominican Republic, May 2025
RipplAffect partnered with It Is Written Ministry, Dominican Republic Southeastern Conference, and ADRA for a transformative mission trip to the Dominican Republic. Together with the local ADRA team, medical care was provided and 250 water filtration systems were distributed to families in underserved communities facing waterborne illnesses and limited healthcare access.
This outreach combined hands-on filter training, health services, and spiritual support—bringing hope, healing, and clean water to hundreds. We’re honored to work with these dedicated partners to reflect God’s love in action and make a lasting impact.
Ethiopia, April 2025 (ongoing project and collaboration)
Bringing Clean Water and Living Hope to Ethiopia
In April, RipplAffect partnered with It Is Written Ministry for a transformative mission trip to the Hawassa region, Jinka, Addis Ababa, and beyond bringing 1000 filters. Alongside Pastor John Bradshaw, Pastor Wes Peppers, Dr. Gohalem Felema, the Parousia Ministry and faithful local leaders, pastors and translators, we brought clean water and the hope of Christ to thousands in need.
The Need is Tremendous — and So is the Opportunity
In areas like Shisho and surrounding villages, clean water is still a daily struggle. Contaminated sources lead to illness and suffering—especially among children. But each filter distributed brings more than health: it brings hope, dignity, and a doorway to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, the true Living Water.
A Partnership of Compassion and Faith
This mission trip reflects the powerful collaboration, showing what’s possible when faith, compassion, and purpose unite. We are grateful for every team member, supporter, translator, local pastor, and donor who made this outreach possible.
Kenya, March 2025
To celebrate World Water Day 2025, RipplAffect partnered again with Spring Valley Academy for a powerful mission trip to Maasai Mara, Kenya. During this impactful initiative, our Water Team distributed 550 high-quality filtration systems, bringing clean, safe drinking water to approximately 4,000 individuals. This effort marks another significant step in our mission to improve health and transform lives through sustainable clean water solutions.
Ghana, October – December 2024
In collaboration with Mission Driven Purpose, RipplAffect continued its impactful work in Mankranso in Ashanti Region, Ghana, West Africa, in Fall 2024. During this phase of the initiative, 1,000 water filtration systems were distributed, providing clean and safe drinking water to thousands of individuals. This effort addresses the critical need for sustainable access to clean water in the region, helping to combat waterborne diseases and improve overall health outcomes. Two follow up visits in beneficiaries homes are planned next.
The Philippines, September – December 2024
RipplAffect continues its impactful work in the Philippines in partnership with Project Propel, extending our efforts further into 2024. We just finished distribution of additional 1,000 water filtration systems, providing clean, safe drinking water to 1,000 more families. As we continue our work, we are committed to empowering more communities with the tools they need for a healthier future, bringing hope and life through safe sustainable water solutions.
Kenya, March & June 2024
In 2024 RipplAffect organized two separate water filter distributions in Kenya in collaboration with two SDA Churches.
In March RipplAffect was thrilled for the distribution of 300 water filtration systems in Maasai Mara, Kenya, in collaboration with Fletcher SDA Church. Building on our past work in the region, this project provided clean, safe drinking water to hundreds of families. By delivering life-saving water filters, we are combating the spread of waterborne diseases and improving the overall health of these communities.
In June RipplAffect has launched yet another water filtration initiative in Kenya, this time in collaboration with Elmhurst SDA Church from Chicago, under the leadership of Pastor John Piroski. The distribution team, led by Carmen Piroski, delivered life-saving water filters to families in need. Building on our past efforts in the region, this project furthers our mission to fight waterborne diseases and enhance the health and well-being of entire communities. This partnership underscores the power of unity and shared vision in creating lasting, positive change in the community. Read more about both initiatives in a news post HERE.
Pakistan, Nov 2023 – Feb 2024
In collaboration with Karachi Adventist Hospital, Pakistan Union, RUAJ Ministry, and Patras Bahadur, Director of the Global Center for Adventist-Muslim Relations at the General Conference, RipplAffect has led a large-scale clean water initiative in Pakistan. Together, we are working to provide life-saving water filtration systems to communities in need across the country.
“This initiative is a powerful testimony to the impact we can make through partnership and dedication to improving lives,” says Narcisa Mikov, Founder and Executive Director of RipplAffect. “It was a wonderful privilege to train about 30 people from Karachi Adventist Hospital and pastors from Pakistan. I am also very grateful for our collaboration with Dr. Patras Bahadur and Sergio Romero from RUAJ Ministry.”

Ghana, 2023 follow-up
In collaboration with the Mission Driven Purpose organization, RipplAffect supported a large-scale clean water initiative in Drobonso, Ghana, West Africa. During Spring 2023, we distributed 1,025 water filtration systems, providing safe drinking water to thousands of people. Two follow-up visits were conducted to ensure the filters were functioning properly, during which rice was also distributed to the community.
Impact:
This distribution of 1,025 filters benefited 1,400 infants, 27,000 children, and by God’s grace, a total of 7,066 people. But beyond the numbers are the powerful narratives that truly touch our hearts. Ernestina shared how she no longer suffers from diarrhea and typhoid thanks to these filters. The Ajay family expressed relief that they no longer have to worry about bacteria in their food. And Latifa, who is grateful for the ability to wash her clothes with clean water, summed it up: “Thank God for these filters!”
Here you can watch the RipplAffect Ghana Distribution of 1,000 Water Filtration Systems to see how these filters are changing lives. You can also view a short overview of the Ghana project by Kojo Twumasi, President of Mission Driven Purpose, our distribution partner.
