Message
Hello, our names are Brian and Kerri. Through various missions organizations, we have been learning about the poverty in parts of Asia, such as India.
Many families live in remote areas and have no access to clean water. 1,600 people in India die each day from waterborne illnesses, most of whom are children younger than five. One fifth of communicable diseases in India are related to the filthy water there. Access to clean water would help improve the health of these people. We want to raise enough money to provide twenty families with a Biosand Water Filter for Christmas. $30 pays for a water filter, but even if you don't have $30, your donation would still help provide for one.
About BioSand
Water Filters
Disease-ridden water is a leading cause of sickness and death in developing nations, especially among children. However, BioSand water filters can greatly address this problem.
- BioSand Water filters are made from concrete and sand, meaning they're easy to construct.
- They work on any kind of water—whether from wells, ponds, rivers or rain. This means families can use the closest water source and make it safe to drink.
- BioSand Water filters are effective at removing dirt, worms, bacteria, and most viruses from water sources.
Your donation will support GFA World's BioSand Water filter distribution. For every $30 GFA can produce a single filter that will be given to a family in need. A single filter can often serve the needs of multiple families.
