CLEAN WATER

Clean water is one of the most desperate needs of the poor in communities all around the world. A lack of usable water often means disease, hunger and suffering. Dirty rivers and streams are contaminated with unseen parasites or bacteria. Your gift of water filters, purification systems, and water pump repair kits make clean water available right in their communities. Choose a gift below and bless a child, family or community with the gift of life!

For many of us, clean water is so plentiful and readily available that we rarely, if ever, pause to consider what life would be like without it.

HOME WELL

$100 per family

Tube-well is the only source for safe drinking water in rural Bangladesh. There is no water supply in most of the areas we worked for. We will be selecting families of our sponsored children who do not have a tube-well in their house. But these families will not use the water from it individually. They would share or install the Tube-well in an open place so nearby families would collect and use water from it. A fully funded home well serves a total of 120-150 families.
