Jacob Niemeier Returns to EWTN’s Life on the Rock

We’re excited to share that VAVV Founder Jacob Niemeier has returned for a second appearance on Life on the Rock on EWTN, this time for a two-part segment with Fr. Mark Mary.

In Part One, Jacob discusses the heart behind Vera Aqua Vera Vita’s mission: bringing sustainable clean water and sanitation solutions to communities in need. He shares how engineering, community partnership, and faith intersect in rural Peru, and why access to clean water is about far more than infrastructure.

In Part Two, Jacob continues the conversation with Fr. Mark, diving deeper into how faith is not just adjacent to this work, but woven into it. From trusting God through bureaucratic obstacles to seeing the dignity of the human person reflected in every project, the discussion highlights how VAVV’s mission flows directly from Catholic social teaching and lived discipleship.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to share the story of True Water, True Life via an international platform, and we invite you to watch both parts. Watch the full two-part interview by clicking each of the links below!
