CLEAN DRINKING WATER
What we take for granted, is an invaluable resource to others. The WHO ‘s research shows roughly 2 billion people do not have a “safely managed drinking-water service – that is, one located on premises, available when needed, and free from contamination." It is amazing how we tend to forget about the #1 resource humans need to survive. While this may not be a problem in your community, there are a few things you can do to make a difference.
Stories
Abigail - “About 3 years ago my town was struck with a water crisis where we could not touch or drink the water. This was due in part to a large algal bloom on Lake Erie that released toxic elements into the water. While our crisis only lasted a few days, many people in this world live in areas that does not have access to clean drinking water. By pairing up with organizations already in place such as, The Water Project, we too can make change in this world.”
Leah - “We plan on bringing water to a small rural Zulu Village in South Africa. Too many children die everyday from not having clean water to drink. This almost happened to one of the babies that live here. When we visited the community over Christmas, the little girl went into a 5 day coma from drinking contaminated water. So we decided to raise money to get clean water for her and her community. Thank you and God bless.” You can read our story here...
