Every $8 you give provides someone with clean water!
Around the world, 115 million people are forced to collect water from unprotected lakes, ponds, rivers, or streams. This puts them at a much greater risk of contracting deadly diseases like cholera, typhoid, or dysentery. You can help! By the end of the year, Unto® plans to send 1,500 water filters to suffering people in hard-to-reach countries. The filters will provide more than 9,000 people with safe, clean water. In order for each one to reach its destination on time, $72,000 is needed by November 30.The water filters distributed are specifically made for use in tough places. With proper care and cleaning, they can last up to 10 years and will provide up to 100,000 gallons of clean water! They can serve homes, schools, churches and medical clinics. Your gift today will give families — and entire communities — safe, clean water now and for years to come!
It costs just $8 to provide someone in a tough place with clean, drinkable water through the gift of a water filter — and to give them the opportunity to hear about Jesus.
Because we work through the network of Cru® staff serving in 190 countries, your gifts will reach people in areas where many organizations cannot go. Our local staff teams personally distribute the water filters you help provide. They teach each family how to use them, so they will have clean water for many years. They build relationships within each community. And they follow up — showing the “JESUS” film, making disciples, and establishing new churches in unreached areas.
Will you give today for long-term impact in unreached communities — providing clean water and sharing hope with those who have never heard?
Water and Hope for Unreached Communities
“What began as a problem ended with hope.”
That is how Pastor Chaisai* described the needs of one family in his community. In the rural village where Pastor Chaisai serves, people struggle to access clean water. Most have also never heard about Jesus.
Providing water filters gives our local Unto staff members, like Pastor Chaisai, access to unreached people. As tangible needs are met, relationships are formed and spiritual conversations can take place.
Recently, while Pastor Chaisai was visiting families in his community, he quickly realized one family had been without clean water for some time. As a result, they had been forced to collect water from dirty, unsafe sources. The family knew it could make them sick but it was their only option.
When Pastor Chaisai presented the family with a water filter, they accepted it joyfully. As he showed them how to use it, their conversation turned to spiritual things. Pastor Chaisai had the opportunity to share the message of Jesus, and all five family members responded!
That is the difference your gift can make! It costs just $8 to provide someone in a tough place with clean, drinkable water through the gift of a water filter and to share hope. A gift of $48 will provide clean water for an entire family of six. Please consider how you can help today!
