Every 90 seconds a child dies of a preventable waterborne disease. The United Nations recently reported that one in four people worldwide lacks access to safe, clean water. And if we do not act now, by 2030 over 1.6 billion people will be left without clean water. In the toughest places water filters are often people’s only option for safe, drinkable water. This year Unto® plans to send 4,750 water filters to suffering families in 18 countries where clean water is critically needed. To achieve this goal $200,962 is needed. A long-lasting water filter costs $42 to purchase and distribute. Since each one serves at least seven people, that means you can provide access to clean water for just $6 per person! Your gift now will meet an immediate physical need — and give them the opportunity to hear about the eternal hope of Jesus.
In villages that do not have a well, water filters are the only solution for obtaining safe, clean water. In times of disaster, or in places where extreme terrain and arid conditions make drilling wells impossible, water filters can save lives. And with proper care and cleaning, these filters can last 10 years! That means your gift today will give families safe, clean water now and for years to come. Providing clean water is one of the most effective strategies our staff members have for meeting tangible needs and reaching people with the message of hope. As people respond they are often able to establish new churches too.
Will you donate today to give someone access to clean water and the opportunity to hear about the eternal hope of Jesus? Yes! I would like to give: |
