How to Help Give Everyone Access to Safe Drinking Water

It is estimated that over 1.1 billion people worldwide do not have access to safe drinking water. In third world countries, contaminated water accounts for 80% off all disease and is behind the deaths of five million children a year. Here is one way you can help.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Support groups that are trying to change those statistics. One of those is Hydromissions. It was started by a married couple working to provide clean drinking water for those in need by using low-tech products and services.
2. Buy pumps, filters or other products for missionaries working in third world countries. Visit www.hydromissions.com for products and pricing.
3. Give to non-profits. One-hundred percent of every dollar donated to Hydromissions goes directly to water ministry projects.

Tips & Warnings

• Hydromissions also sells soap to help fund their missions projects. You can find out more information on their website.
