In most areas of the United States, we have easy access to clean drinking water. Fear never enters our mind as we go to our kitchen sink several times a day to turn on the tap for a fresh glass of water. This is not the experience many have in other countries - including India - where the majority of our churches and Hope Homes are located.
Statistics state that 24,000 children under the age of five die every day from diarrhea caused by drinking unclean water. Over 88 per cent of all deaths worldwide, resulting from diarrhea, are caused by individuals drinking unsafe water.
Hopegivers works tirelessly in many areas to provide wells that become a literal source of life in many communities. A deep well costs just $3000 to build. However, in some areas even the well water is contaminated. In these areas Hopegivers provides the Sawyers Point One Water Filtration Kit, which can provide up to 500 gallons of clean water each day. Hopegivers can provide a filter kit for just $50.
