Your gift will improve the quality of life for rural communities. Honduras is one of the poorest countries in the Americas. CRS Honduras is working with our partner to meet the water needs of poor farm families. more Every $30 donation enables WaterAid to provide one person with clean safe water, sanitation and hygiene education in one of the 17 countries where we work. Your donation will allow WaterAid to help people to build safe water facilities and safe and clean places to go to the toilet. more Your gift will provide one water filter that has a tested and proven capacity to reduce the incidence of water borne illness and substantially reduce childhood diarrhea by up to 70%. more Your gift of five children's "arbor-loo" latrines will provide five Malawian children with a safe and hygienic way to defecate while developing good hygiene habits that will last a lifetime. This innovative gift will also help the environment. more Rainwater harvesting systems with a capacity of 100,000 liters are enough to meet water and sanitations needs for 500 school children for 6 months. more Your donation will be used to help farmers harvest water that is available to them. A simple irrigation system connecting their farms to major rivers is enough to double their productivity. more Your $100 gift will help provide a school sanitary block (total cost $5,000) in a rural Guatemalan school. This project will include water service, adequate, gender-sensitive sanitation facilities, and a hand-washing station to help children develop proper hygiene habits. more Your gift will allow a mason to construct a 4,300 cubic liter rainwater jar that can provide water storage for 20 people. more This gift will help bring fresh, clean water to the home of an indigenous family in Guatemala or Mexico by providing the pipes and tools needed to connect their home to a new community water system. With easy access to potable water, water- borne diseases and infant mortality rates drop dramatically. more Your donation will allow WaterAid to purchase one handpump to serve 10 households, thereby reducing the burden of collecting water. Helping people to build safe water supplies directly translates to improved health, more free time, and a better quality of life and is the first step in poverty reduction. more People living near safe water supplies can look after the water needs of their family in a matter of minutes, leaving the rest of the day free to earn much-needed cash. more Your donation will help NRDC safeguard the country’s drinking water by pushing for citizens' right to know about contaminants in their water and by conducting scientific research and public education. more |
