Everyone has the right to clean drinking water.
Our recent experience in a flood ravished area in Brazil led us to offer a new way for you to participate in helping people in need of clean drinking water. Whether you would like to purchase filters to champion a specific area of your choosing or to simply take on your travels to "Help along the way", the Champion's program is the answer.
We coordinate the filter purchasing, shipping and export/import process for you! Please send us a message if you have questions.
We have found the best way to make clean drinking water programs sustainable is to find established local leaders and organizations already taking action to improve living conditions in their own community. We take care up front, that there is a good fit in the organization charter and that there are sufficient resources to follow up with filter recipient questions and monitor health benefits. Meet Rita Defour and Julio Gonzales who exemplify what it means to be a caring local leader.
Rita, far left, has served the last 17 years as Director of Cornerstone Foundation dedicated to improve the lives of youth and adults in San Ignacio and Santa Elena, Belize. She was recently recognized for Women in Leadership by Maximum Radio and TV. Rita states, "There is no limit what we, as women, can accomplish".
Asociación Bendición de Dios is an NGO that has been working in the community of San Juan Alotenango since July 15, 2002. It was founded by Julio César García González who worked in the community public school system. Disadvantaged families and the need for education of its inhabitants led him to dream of being able to change the lives of boys and girls through education culminating in the establishment of Niños de Alotenango.
What started out as a makeshift wooden building is now 3 large brick buildings housing 450 to 500 students including pre-school, primary school as well as vocational training for both students and adults. This school is designed for those parents who cannot afford public education. According to Julió, ¨We firmly believe that everyone deserves opportunities and respect, so we are here to give them that helping hand and together make them achieve their dreams. We live their dreams and make them fight for them¨.
Sawyer tap and bucket filters are versatile, compact, effective and easy to use. One filter has the potential to provide 100 people with clean water for 5 years or a family of 4 for a lifetime. Each filter has the capacity to filter 500 gallons of water per day removing harmful bacteria, protozoa and viruses including Cholera, Botulism, Typhoid, Dysentery, E Coli, Coliform, Streptococcus, Salmonella, Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Hepatitis A, Poliovirus, and Corona Virus (SARS).
