In Pakistan, it is estimated that 21.7 million people have no choice but to drink contaminated water, causing widespread suffering and unnecessary deaths from waterborne illnesses, liver and stomach diseases.
Every dollar you give goes directly to the purchase and delivery of filters, giving you maximum impact for your generosity. But the REAL value is knowing YOU have improved the lives of an entire household for years to come! Each filter provides a minimum of 5 years of clean, safe water to a family, preventing illness and keeping both children and adults healthy so they can focus on school and providing for their families. Reaching our fundraising goal will provide filters to an entire village in rural Pakistan!
If you could change an entire family’s lives with a small, one time gift, is that something that would bring you joy?
In fact, the impact is even bigger than that! Water filters are often shared with neighbors and extended families, multiplying the number of people who benefit! In practice, one filter provides water for at least two households, AND promotes connection and sharing within the community.
One filter costs $50 + 5 for delivery. For my numbers people, here’s a breakdown: With each filter lasting a MINIMUM of 5 years, providing for two or more households, the impact adds up quickly. With an average of 5 people per household, x 2 households, the cost of clean water is just $1 per person PER YEAR! Just one dollar gives someone in need an entire year’s worth of the most critical resource, and one of the most limited in the deserts of rural Pakistan. You can hardly buy a single bottle of water for $1. Filters are both cost effective and sustainable, and they change lives!
Long term, our goal is to reach as many people as possible with access to clean, safe drinking water. This current campaign will provide 60 filters, supplying water to around 120 households, which means water for over 600 people for years to come! As an added benefit, all filters are locally sourced in Pakistan, providing jobs for people in the community and saving on shipping costs.
I don’t know about you, but I REALLY like the way those numbers break down! In a world where the news can make us feel helpless, this is one way we really CAN make a difference, one water filter at a time. Will you help us?
