We catch, store and share safe water for indigenous peoples, in place of the polluted water from puddles or contaminated streams which is often all they have to drink.
Our simple, easy to maintain tanks have only one moving part – the faucet – and last for years.
They’re a perfect answer for providing safe water to indigenous peoples – the poorest of the poor.
Many indigenous families live over salt-water marshes, which is all they can afford. Many paddle a canoe for hours to find water, which is often contaminated by human waste.
Most parents try to catch what little water they can in an assortment of ju8gs like this. But it's often too little. Our 550- gallon tanks do the job, and refill before they empty in the tropical rain-betls.
Safe water prevents “revolving door” sickness. Every dollar spent on providing safe drinking water saves up to ten dollars in medical treatment — not counting the human suffering.
It’s easy to give the gift of renewable, life-saving water
A water tank for an indigenous school or village costs $600 and provides safe drinking water for at least sixty kids or villagers, mostly children.
Students watch as we finish installing one of our safe water rain-catchment tanks. They wanted a drink as soon as he finished. He had to explain it had to rain first. They looked at the skies and patiently waited.
Their wait was rewarded. It rained, filling the school's new tank
Safe, cean water for kids who often heve to scoop up polluted water from puddles.
$10 will provide safe and renewable drinking water for one child or villager, and give again every time it rains.
Eferyone waits their turn
A visiting medical team said:
“Safe drinking water must come first.
Without that we’re fighting a losing battle.”
Give a child the gift of renewable, life-saving drinking water.
None of us could live without it.
They can’t either.
