THE LIFE-SAVING GIFTS OF PURIFIED WATER
AND HOPE FOR JUST PENNIES A DAY!
Water. Essential, pure, life
sustaining water. How many
glasses of water have you
had today? How many times
have you turned the faucet
on and seen clean, clear,
healthy water flow from it?
This is a blessing that many
around the world have
never known.
Nearly 1 billion people
worldwide lack access to
safe drinking water. This
lack of safe drinking water
results in the death of 1.4
million children each year
due to diarrheal related
diseases alone [1] . That's
three children each minute

 The Vision
† To Prov ide a Source of Purified Water to Fam ilies in Need

Our vision is to end the needless suffering from waterborne related illnesses by
delivering the gift of clean water to those around the world in need. With close

† To D eliver Faith and Hope One Bucket at a Time

Delivery of each water filtration system will provide us with an opportunity to

present the living water (Jeremiah 17:13), the Good News of Jesus Christ. It is
only by His grace that we are able to know and have true spiritual health, peace
and hope (Romans 3:24).

Econom ic Benefits of Investing in drinking -water and

sanitation

“Water and Sanitation is one
of the primary drivers of
public health. I often refer to
it as “Health 101”, which
means that once we can
secure access to clean water
and to adequate sanitation
facilities for all people,
irrespective of the difference
in their living conditions, a
huge battle against all kinds
of diseases will be won.”
Dr Lee Jong-wook, Director-
General, World Health
Organization.
The estimated economic benefits of investing in drinking-water and sanitation come in
several forms*:
• Health-care savings of US$ 7 billion a year for health agencies and US$ 340 million for
individuals;
• 320 million productive days gained each year in the 15- to 59-year age group, an
extra 272 million school attendance days a year, and an added 1.5 billion healthy
days for children under five years of age, together representing productivity gains of US$
9.9 billion a year;
• Time savings resulting from more convenient drinking-water and sanitation services,
totaling 20 billion working days a year, giving a productivity payback of some US$ 63 billion
a year.

 The Water Filtration System
The water filtration
system that we provide
uses Hollow Fiber
Membranes, a
technology developed
for kidney dialysis. The
filters are comprised of
tiny "U" shaped micro
tubes that allow water
Hollow Fiber
Membranes, a to enter into their cores
through tiny micro
technology developed
for kidney dialysis pores. The filters pores
are so small (0.1 micron
absolute) that no
bacteria, protozoa, or
cysts like E.Coli, Cholera
and Typhoid can get
through. The filter
attains the highest level
of filtration available
today at 7 log
(99.99999%), while
maintaining a very high
flow rate due to the
large amount of tubes.
This filter is certified
for ABSOLUTE microns.
That means there will
be no pore size larger
than 0.1 microns.
Simply put, it
is impossible for
bacteria to pass
through the 0.1 micron
filter.

Ease of Use
Many water systems have proved useless only because of the complexity of the
system itself. Locals will not use a system that proves too complex to setup,
operate and maintain. One true benefit of our filter is its ease of use and
maintainability. Our setup instructions are as follows:

1. Obtain a clean plastic bucket or container.

2. Use the hole cutter to drill a hole 1.5 inches from the bottom of the bucket.

3. Screw the connector, hose, and filter onto the bucket.

4. Fill the bucket with water from any source, lower the filter head below the
water line and let gravity do the rest.

The ease of operating this system makes it self-sustainable and dependable.

 Together We Can Help End Waterborne
Illnesses and Deliver Hope
Together, we can make a difference. Let us join together in a line of humanity and sweep through
the world helping those who can't help themselves. With the aid of our contacts in places such as
Iquitos, Peru, you can help us put an end today to the needless suffering of a family from
waterborne illnesses such as cholera and botulism. Your gift of just $100 will provide a needy family
in a developing country with:

A Complete Water Filtration System - filter, hose, backwash syringe, filter hanger, and
bucket
Training on how to use and maintain the system
Information on basic sanitation and hygiene
The gift of clean water for YEARS
Access to the "Living Water", the good news of Jesus Christ

Since the filters can continuously be backwashed and re-used, they have an extremely long life
expectancy, 10+ years. That amounts to less than a penny a day to deliver these life
saving systems!

Delivering Hope One Bucket at a Time™

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to
drink ....."- Matthew 25:35

The installation of each water filtration device will present us with a unique opportunity to share
the good news of Jesus Christ, the “Living Water”, with countless unreached families.

Help us deliver the message of health, hope, peace, and salvation to those in need around the
world. Join us as we deliver this message one bucket at a time.

Let us join together in a line of humanity to help

those in need. Will you join with us?
