$5 Saves a Life!

Can $5 really save a life? Our cost to build, deliver, and install a concrete Biosand water filter is $50, which in turn benefits on average 10 people in need. The cost to repair an existing broken well hand pump is $300-$800, which in turn benefits 500 to 1000 people in need. The cost to drill a new well is $2,000-$4,000, which in turn benefits 500 to 1000 people in need. For less than $5 per person, we can provide the basic necessity of clean drinking water to those in need around the world.

We are seeking Thirst Partners who are willing and able to give a $5 recurring monthly donation toward the cause of clean drinking water. To put it in perspective, that is one less fast food value meal or two less specialty coffee drinks per month. Your $5 donation can have an unimaginable impact when combined with other $5 gifts.

With your help, we can save the lives of millions who are literally dying of thirst.
