Lifewater International

Ashe attended a Billy Graham conference in Amsterdam in 1983 and received over 2,000 requests for safe water from pastors and evangelists in over 100 countries.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Lifewater used volunteers to serve thousands of communities around the world with safe water, adding improved sanitation and hygiene practices to its list of essential services as their necessity became more apparent.

As Ashe transitioned the organization from volunteers to professional staff, Lifewater collaborated with ministries in-country to advance the cause of WASH (Water, Sanitation, Hygiene) and promote Christianity to those in need.

[citation needed] Lifewater operates in Tanzania, Uganda, Cambodia, and Ethiopia, and through Water For Good, in Central African Republic.
