Overview
Mission
RNM exists to provide access to safe domestic water, medical relief, and vocational job skills training to the poor and needy in various communities; and in particular, the 3rd World Countries - with the current focus on Nigeria and the Niger Republic in West Africa, Widows and Orphanage care through partnerships in India, & Nigeria. Furthermore, RNM is committed to addressing the need to remove conditions that lead to abject poverty, cycles of disease, and ill health, especially among children and women through sustainable development. Working with donor partners and volunteers, RNM focuses on reducing shortages of sanitary water access as it shares the gospel of Christ the living water to improve school attendance, health & hygiene habits for the desperately poor. RNM also promotes solar pumps for safe Water Access, and Hygiene education as a tool for its integral mission, thereby using the opportunity to share the love of Christ through its intentional gospel proclamation.
What it reported doing in 2024
We had 2 fundraising campaigns in 2024 during the 2nd quarter in May- a Walk 4 Water and the October Water Relief Gala events to raise money for the ministry. Both functions were reasonably well attended by about 250 participants or volunteers with many also donating money to support the ministry. Key accomplishments: 1. We drilled 13 new wells in Nigeria and rehabilitated 7 well projects. 2. We drilled 10 new wells in India and rehabilitated 7 existing wells. Total new wells: 23 and rehab wells: 14 for a total of 37 well projects accomplished by RNM field teams alone. Distribution of gifts and refreshment are given during these well projects dedication ceremonies with gospel proclamations, and some Bible distribution as needed in a given area or location. 4. Other Accomplishments include: A. WASH Hygiene and Sanitation teams - conducted 8 Well Site visits of previous projects done by RNM for water quality testing, hygiene training for behavior changes and evangelism. B. Dorcas Tailoring Training in India ran their annual program supported by RNM with the addition of 3 more new sewing machines, and materials provided to the women. C. Provision of food and supplies to 4 Orphanages - 1 in Nigeria, and 3 in India. One of the orphanage got a tricycle for a crippled man to help him buy and resell vegetables. The Boys in the Boys Orphanage got shoes for Christmas, and some got job skills training as well. D. The Orphanage with the CH Jayama Ministries in Andra Pradesh got some funding to help advance their building expansion project in which the living area was build and sealed with improved kitchen and toilets. E. We also sponsored a Medical Outreach in India where basic health checks were done, vitamins distributed with other gifts as the we shared the gospel of Christ and demonstrated his love.
