Water4Mercy: Helping the Poor in Africa

Nermine Rubin: A Life of Service

Nermine Rubin was born in Egypt but grew up in America. She is the founder of Water4Mercy ministry, and you can explore her beautifully detailed website at Water4Mercy.org. Today, we discuss her work in several African countries, including drilling solar-powered wells, implementing innovative agricultural technology for high-tech hydroponic farming to maximize crop yields, and advancing animal husbandry to improve the lives of the poorest of the poor.

Transformative Projects and Partnerships

Today's show will feature two video clips showcasing her efforts to uplift the most impoverished communities. Nermine collaborates with world-renowned Israeli organizations and developed AITeC, the Agricultural Innovation and Technology Center, to teach and transfer knowledge aimed at improving the plight of Africa's poorest populations. She also partners with the Salesians, whose Don Bosco centers work with the poor to teach various skills.

Inspirational Stories and Further Reading

We will also discuss her book, "The Most Wonderful Rain," which tells the story of Deborah and how Water4Mercy has transformed her life and the lives of many others. For more information, visit Water4Mercy.org.
