“Este pozo es donado por Triumph Bancorp y Living Water International en el nombre de Jesus.”

These words will rest forever on a water well in a village outside of Acajutla, El Salvador and will resonate forever in the hearts of the Triumph team members. Translated, the plaque reads: “This well is donated by Triumph Bancorp and Living Water International in the name of Jesus.”

“Safe, clean water removes the single heaviest burden from the lives of the poorest people in our world. Not having to deal with this daily crisis means time for school and work, life and health, and allows individuals and communities to plan for tomorrow.”
