Just as many prep their spiritual lives for the Source of living water, thousands of families worldwide in areas where World Vision works are preparing their homes for the new life that physical clean water will bring. <a href=\"\/our-work\/clean-water\">When World Vision drills wells<\/a> in communities, we don&rsquo;t just arrive, install a water source, and leave. Instead, we work with community members to educate them on proper water, sanitation, and hygiene practices that will contribute to a fuller life.<\/p>\n<p>Communities work to prepare their homes for clean water by changing their daily habits. So once clean water comes, they&rsquo;ll see healthier and happier lives. But change is always hard, and doing things differently takes time to adapt.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/lp\/lent-living-water\">As you and your family seek the Source of living water this Easter<\/a>, please pray for families World Vision works with as they implement six key sanitation and hygiene practices in their homes and prepare to receive clean water.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-32387 aligncenter lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2018\/02\/WV-Spring18-Prayer-Digital2.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2018\/02\/WV-Spring18-Prayer-Digital2-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2018\/02\/WV-Spring18-Prayer-Digital2-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2018\/02\/WV-Spring18-Prayer-Digital2-240x240.jpg 240w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2018\/02\/WV-Spring18-Prayer-Digital2-566x566.jpg 566w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2018\/02\/WV-Spring18-Prayer-Digital2-760x760.jpg 760w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2018\/02\/WV-Spring18-Prayer-Digital2-850x850.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2018\/02\/WV-Spring18-Prayer-Digital2.jpg\">Pit latrines<\/h2>\n<p>World Vision educates people about how pit latrines keep water sources from getting contaminated by human waste.
