The most basic of all physical needs is water. "71% of the earth’s surface is covered by water.” 321 million cubic miles of water to be exact, but most of which is salt water. 2.551 million cubic miles of fresh water. And, though that sounds like a lot of water still water is not accessible to all people.
Nearly 1 billion people today, still lack access to safe, clean drinking water. With nearly 1 million children dying each year due to water related illnesses that are preventable, water is the most vital component to not only survival, but also to the development of a community.
Each clean water filter provides clean water for 10+ people for 25 years or $10 provides 1 person with clean water for 25 years. Our goal for 2016 is to raise $40,000 to buy 400 clean water filters. This would provide clean water for 4,000 people for the next 25 years!
