My personal message:

CLEAN  WATER  FOR  EVERYONE

We are a group of friends who believe that if everyone gives a little we can help make a difference to those in need.  We have the ability, as a group, to pool our resources and make a significant change in the lives of the under-resourced in our world.  $25,000 will supply the town of Kahama, Uganda with a solar powered filtration system that will give them access to clean, safe water.

Will you help us?

 STATISTICS  SAY  IT  ALL

  • 1 out of every 8 people in the world, roughly 884 million, lack access to safe water. (WHO/UNICEF) 
  • 1.8 million children die every year as a result of diseases caused by unclean water and poor sanitation.  This amounts to around 5 deaths a day, 1 every 20 seconds. (UNDP) 
  •  The average North American uses more than 100 gallons of water each day, but the average person in the developing world uses less tha 3. (UNDP/WSSCC) 
  •  According to a recent World Health Organization (WHO) study, every dollar spent on improving sanitation generates an average economic benefit of $7 a day.
  • Water-related diseases caused by unsafe drinking water and inadequate sanitation remain humanity's most serious public health threat, causing 90% of the sicknesses in developing countries. (WHO)
  • Providing water and hygiene education reduces the number of deaths caused by diarrheal diseases by an average of 65%. (WHO)
