Water of Life
A Crisis:
700 Million people, 2.1 million of them children, die every year in India, largely due to lack of water and water-borne disease.
The lack of safe, clean water affects everyone. Drought and increased agricultural demand for water is steering India towards a crisis, especially in communities that are dependent on contaminated surface water or unreliable groundwater from shallow wells. The absence of viable water-sources are killing the children and the frail.
Water of Life offers an answer by providing the essential, felt needs of others in a practical way. Local churches in India partners with S.O.S. to drill wells and offer water freely to communities. One well can provide clean water for an entire village. Your contribution, no matter how small, can help save a life, when combined with someone else's gift.
You can participate in this life saving outreach in the following ways:
$4,800 provides one well for a village community
$777 provides water for 100 people
$388 provides water for 50 people
$194 provides water for 25 people
$39 provides water for 5 people
$7.77 can save one life by providing clean water for one person
... for the next 30 years!
"When the poor and needy search for water and there is none, and their tongues are parched from thirst, then I, the Lord, will answer them." -Isaiah 41:17 (New Living Translation)
