Water Filter Distribution had begun...
It was an exciting time this week as we began distribution of your donated Water Filters. We will continue to post photos and advise the donors via email of our progress.
Even though our initial drive has ended, the need has not. We will gladly accept your donation at any time. What a wonderful gift this would make for a needy family for Christmas. You may also want to think about donating a Water Filter in honor or memory of a friend or relative.

Today we had the opportunity to educate our Bible Study Group (Home Church), on the benefits of Water Filters (Eco Filtro). It was heartbreaking to here them talking about the discomfort of parasites/amoebas in their intestines. And how, for some, it is necessary to boil their water before using it to drink.
This is just a confirmation of how important and life changing these water filters are in the lives of the people in our community. As some of our friends have babies, just imagine how much their bodies need to fight off infection just because of the water, not to mention (continue)

Saturate Magdalena with Clean Water
Join us on our continuing mission to change the lives of the people in our community in Guatemala. With your support, our goal is to place one of these water filtration systems in 50 homes in our community by the end of October.
The need is enormous, the effect is life changing and the cost is minimal when you consider the impact it can have on just a single family.
For a mere $42.00 you can partner with us to provide clean drinking water for a family of 5 to 6 people for 2 years.

Our Personal Testimony…
We have seen much improvement in the families where we have placed these filters. Decrease in stomach/intestinal problems, less general sickness (coughs, colds and flu). We would like to see more families benefit from drinking clean water. We also, have been using this filtration system in our home for a few years now, and believe it would be beneficial to every family to have one in their home. For us, it saves on the cost of purchasing bottled water, for our neighbors who can't even afford bottled water, here are some of the benefits this system provides...
· Reduces diarrhea over 50% along with other intestinal infections
· Reduces respiratory infections, caused by the open fires used to boil contaminated water
· Reduces absenteeism at work and school
· Increases health and productivity
· Reduces firewood expenses and time for no longer needing to boil water on an open fire
· Reduces medicine costs required to treat a stomach illness caused by unfiltered water
· No more purchases of bottled water
