Health knowledge made personal

I know I haven't mentioned it around here, the whole Haiti disaster, but that's mostly because it's taken me this long to wrap my mind around it. It literally breaks my heart to see the devastation over there.... I know there are a TON of ways at the moment to give a little, but I believe there just can't be enough help in a time like this. My church has an organization called Give Clean Water.... I thought I would share a little about them, so you would know of yet another way we can do our part. ~~~~~~~ Give Clean Water What if you could change the world? Could it begin with the Gift of Clean Water? According to the World Health Organization, 1.8 million people die every year from diarrhoeal diseases. Globally it is the leading cause of illness and death. 88% of diarrhoeal diseases are attributed to unsafe drinking water along with inadequate sanitation and hygiene. Give Clean Water, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, provides and installs clean water filters in people’s homes so no matter what type of water they have access to, these families will always have clean water to drink. We need your help. Partner with us, whether you’re an individual, non-profit, or corporation, by providing financial support or joining us on a trip to install clean water filters in people’s homes. Join us on a journey to change the world, one family, one filter at a time. ~~~~~~~ Did you know that over 55% of deaths in Haiti are often due to unclean water? Join Give Clean Water’s efforts to send 1,000 clean water filters to Haiti to assist in the recovery efforts. We will be working in conjunction with Convoy for Hope to install the filters in Haiti. For every $25 donation, Give Clean Water will provide a clean drinking water filter to the Haiti relief effort. {I have extended the skin care contest by a few more days. I will announce the winners on Tuesday.}  © 2009 "Le Musings of Moi" |
