Living Waters Healing Centre

War in Chechnya

Most of the people of Chechnya have been traumatised by years of war, which since 1994 has seen over 200,000 people killed and over 300,000 people fleeing as refugees.

A place of safety and healing ...

“Zhivaya Voda” (Living Waters) seeks to provide a place of refuge for traumatised refugees from Chechnya to  receive healing in body, soul and spirit.    <leaflet>

Beslan Trauma Counselling for the parents and children who were involved in the terrorist attack on the school

Living Waters was founded in 2002 as a Trauma Counselling Centre for adults and children who had suffered in the conflict in and around Chechnya. The work was founded by Paula O’Keefe, a missionary from England qualified as a Psychologist and Teacher, who has been working with Kingscare in the area since 1992. She has trained a team of local people to work alongside her at Living Waters.

Since the ministry started, at least 2,000 Chechens and Ossetians have participated in our programmes, as well as hundreds of Russians. With the growth of the ministry, and the improving situation in Chechnya, Living Waters Healing Centre has opened the doors to the wider public, not only from the greater Chechen area, but from different Republics of the former Soviet Union and as far a field as Western Europe, North America and Africa.
