Children's Water for Life

Children's Water for Life CWFL raises money to purchase PUR™ packets through donations given to Children’s Safe Drinking W Contaminated drinking water is a major problem.

Founded by 8-year-old Isabella, CWFL was formed in the Fall of 2009 as a Texas-based non-profit organization (IRS tax exemption status pending). The Board of Directors consists of eight dedicated children between the ages of 8 and 14. The organization is assisted by the guidance of four adults who serve on the Advisory Committee. Diarrhea caused by drinking contaminated water remains a leading cau

se of illness and death among infants and children in the developing world. Diseases, such as cholera, typhoid, dysentery and others, are caused by drinking contaminated water. Almost 2 million children die every year due to water-related diseases. Almost all are less than five years old. Every day more than 4,000 children in developing countries die simply because they don't have clean drinking water. According to the Pacific Institute Research Report (2002), “the failure to provide safe drinking water and adequate sanitation services to all people is perhaps the greatest development failure of the 20th century.”

MORE THAN 1 BILLION people today in developing countries drink from unsafe and contaminated water that causes viruses, bacteria, illnesses and death.

Childrens Water For Life was founded by 8 year old, Isabella who was deeply moved and saddened by the knowledge that so many people, especially children, die every day for lack of clean, safe water. It struck her that not everyone had access to such a simple and basic commodity. After understanding that it’s just not that easy to mail bottles of water to children around the globe, she became encouraged by the "PUR" packet when she heard Dr. Greg Allgood, Director of Children’s Safe Drinking Water at Proctor & Gamble (P&G) describe the product and the huge need for it on a television commercial.

Proctor & Gamble, along with the Centers for Disease Control developed a simple water purification product called “PUR" packets. In only 30 minutes, this simple powder can remove all harmful bacteria, viruses and dirt from contaminated water.
