THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS
Diseases from unsafe water and lack of basic
sanitation kill more people each year than all
forms of violence, including war.
Nearly one in five deaths are caused by diarrhea,
thats more than malaria, AIDS, and measles
combined.
For children under age five, water-related
diseases are the leading cause of death.

THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS
No intervention has greater overall impact upon
national development and public health than safe
drinking water and the proper disposal of human
waste.
Lack of access to clean water and sanitation
kills children at a rate equivalent of a jumbo
jet crashing every four hours.
A few years ago a child died every 15 seconds
from drinking contaminated water, now its every
21 seconds. While we celebrate the
accomplishment, we still have work to do.

THE SOLUTION

• WATER FILTERS

EDUCATION
Education is used to train our in-country
partners how to use health and hygiene training
as a tool to build disciples.
One filter can supply clean water for up to 20
people for 5-10 years. They filter approximately
5 gallons of water in under 20 minutes.

HEALTH HYGIENE TRAINING
Education helps promote sustainability and
community ownership.
Every water initiative is accompanied by our
Health and Hygiene Training along with the gospel
presentation. Each training builds on
foundational health principles using stories from
the Bible. The program is designed to build
relationships, allow individuals to see tangible
improvements in their health, and experience the
love of Christ.

FROM THE FIELD
Because of you my family and community now have
access to clean water. And because of the
training we are able to help teach others about
sanitation as well as having an open door to
reach others with the gospel message.

FROM THE FIELD
Your help came at a time when we had nothing no
future and only diseased water to drink. Your
help has given us life and the hope to go on.
