Notre Mission

Sponsor a Village School

We believe that every child is made in the image of God and that loving, nurturing, and equipping them is a sacred calling. Each child is unique and full of boundless potential—and every one deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and dream. Through our Village School Sponsorship Program, your support helps transform entire communities by meeting the most urgent educational and physical needs of children in villages where we’ve installed Puits d'Eau Vivants. We currently partner with over 26 village schools and 9 private Christian schools —and with your help, that number continues to grow.

$30/month or $360/year helps sponsor a village school and its children

Your monthly gift plays a vital role in supporting an entire school community—especially children in greatest need. While this amount does not cover the full cost of operating the school, it allows us to provide essential support in partnership with others who are also investing in these villages. Together, your contributions help provide:
  • School supplies and uniforms for every student
  • Nutritious meals for children who may otherwise go without
  • Teacher support—including training, resources, and salaries where needed
  • Improvements to classrooms and school buildings
  • Case-by-case medical assistance for students when needed
Your sponsorship becomes part of a larger effort to ensure that every child in the village has the opportunity to thrive—physically, spiritually, and academically.

Why Village Sponsorship?

After installing clean water wells in these communities, we noticed something incredible—school attendance doubled. Children were no longer missing class due to waterborne illness, and girls who once spent hours fetching water are now in school, learning and thriving. This is about more than just education. It’s about restoring time, health, dignity, and hope to entire communities—starting with the next generation.

Prisca Peace Project

At Le Pont International, we are empowering women to transform their lives and communities through the Prisca Peace Project. Through microloans, business training, discipleship, and educational development, women are gaining the tools they need to build sustainable businesses, provide for their families, and become leaders in their communities.

The program serves women from a variety of small business backgrounds, including seamstresses, cosmetologists, grocery and produce vendors, spice sellers, and other entrepreneurs. Loans are provided with an 8-month repayment period, and we are proud to maintain a remarkable 100% repayment rate.

The impact continues to grow:

The original 25 women successfully repaid their loans and have now quadrupled their loan amounts, allowing them to significantly expand their businesses.

A second group of 25 women received increased loan amounts as they demonstrated success and commitment to the program.

Today, the Prisca Peace Project has expanded to include 186 women from villages where Living Water Wells have been established.


In addition to business development, the program now offers literacy and mathematics courses for participating women. These classes provide foundational reading, writing, and math skills that strengthen their ability to manage finances, grow their businesses, and navigate daily life with greater confidence and independence.

Mme Awoute oversees the Prisca Peace Project, providing training in accounting, marketing, business development, financial stewardship, literacy, and mathematics. Her leadership helps ensure that each participant has the knowledge, skills, and support needed for long-term success.

Through your support, the Prisca Peace Project is creating sustainable change…one woman, one family, and one community at a time.

Imagine if you can…

Votre fille en âge d'aller à l'école primaire marche des heures par jour pour aller chercher de l'eau au lieu d'aller à l'école. Elle se lève chaque matin avec la même routine désespérée. Son espoir est en suspens. En Afrique, les filles de moins de 15 ans sont deux fois plus susceptibles que les garçons d'être responsables de l'approvisionnement en eau de la famille. Pour poursuivre un avenir plein d'espoir, elle et sa famille ont besoin d'eau... tous les jours.

Our Living Water Wells project bring together the three goals of LPI: children are educated, churches are equipped, and communities are empowered.

l'Église

Notre passion à l'IPV est d'accomplir la grande mission de Jésus de faire des disciples de toutes les nations. Pour ce faire, nous formons des transformateurs communautaires. Ces leaders communautaires supervisent et entretiennent les puits en tant que base pour l'action communautaire. L'église devient ainsi un centre stratégique de développement communautaire.
