Over a billion people in the developing world have no clean water.
No clean water to drink or to wash their
hands or their food and must resort to
obtaining contaminated water from rivers,
streams, ponds, or any available source.
2.4 billion people have no adequate sanitation.
Because people do not have access to clean
water they have...
limited educational opportunities
limited economic opportunities
poverty
disease
death
Unsafe water and lack of sanitation kills
nearly TWO MILLION PEOPLE each year.
That is like the population of a city the size of
Chicago disappearing off the planet EACH
YEAR.
More people are dying from easily
preventable water-borne diseases than are
dying from AIDS.
Most of the people who die 
from water-borne
diseases are children under
the age of five with one
person dying every 8 seconds.
Diarrhea is the leading killer of children in
sub Saharan Africa. A baby born in Africa is
520 times more likely to die of diarrhea than
a child born in Europe.
2 in 5 people in sub Saharan Africa lack safe water.
East Africa is in a 5-year drought, and the lack
of water has led to the death of 500,000
cattle, conflict, and food shortages..
About the Need for Water
We are giving hope to and to relieve
the suffering of people in villages in Malawi,
Africa by making clean water sources
available to them.
Clean water makes possible the education
of young girls and the gainful employment
and industry of women who would otherwise
spend hours a day searching for water --any
water, even disease laden water.
We know to give the gift of clean water is a
wonderful thing, but to offer with it the Living
Water, the Lord Jesus Christ, will have
eternal impact.
Matthew 10:42, "And whoever gives one of
these little ones only a cup of cold water in
the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to
you, he shall by no means lose his reward."
