join give clean water & convoy for hope to help haiti

I know I haven’t mentioned it around here, the whole Haiti disaster, but that’s mostly because it’s taken me this long to wrap my mind around it.
It literally breaks my heart to see the devastation over there….
I know there are a TON of ways at the moment to give a little, but I believe there just can’t be enough help in a time like this.
My church has an organization called Give Clean Water….
I thought I would share a little about them, so you would know of yet another way we can do our part.

Give Clean Water
What if you could change the world? Could it begin with the Gift of Clean Water?
According to the World Health Organization, 1.8 million people die every year from diarrhoeal diseases. Globally it is the leading cause of illness and death. 88% of diarrhoeal diseases are attributed to unsafe drinking water along with inadequate sanitation and hygiene.
Give Clean Water, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, provides and installs clean water filters in people’s homes so no matter what type of water they have access to, these families will always have clean water to drink.
We need your help. Partner with us, whether you’re an individual, non-profit, or corporation, by providing financial support or joining us on a trip to install clean water filters in people’s homes. Join us on a journey to change the world, one family, one filter at a time.
~~~~~~~
Did you know that over 55% of deaths in Haiti are often due to unclean water?
Join Give Clean Water’s efforts to send 1,000 clean water filters to Haiti to assist in the recovery efforts. We will be working in conjunction with Convoy for Hope to install the filters in Haiti. For every $25 donation, Give Clean Water will provide a clean drinking water filter to the Haiti relief effort.

{I have extended the skin care contest by a few more days. I will announce the winners on Tuesday.}

  1. That is such a wonderful idea! Our pastor this weekend said that we are soo blessed to live in this country and we all need to DIG DEEP and give. We are doing something called Feed my starving children where we package meals for the all the people, pray over each bag and put them in a pallet to head on a Plane.

    Also, we had not given monetarily until Yesterday, I finally donated to the Red Cross. I also took a really long time to wrap my brain around this disaster!

  4. What a wonderful gift….and idea! I too have been overwhelmed by the devestation over there, especially after watching a segment of Anderson Cooper 360 last week. It also boggles my mind to hear horrible comments from people on FB about how we should help the people in Haiti, yet should be helping the people here in our country. I agree, we should help the people in our country but Haiti, a 4th world country has been devestated by such unfortunate curcumstances and if anything, we should be a helping community to ALL! If we had more loving and caring people in this world, it would be a better place.

    Thanks for sharing this tidbit of info. Such an awesome idea!!!!!

  7. Great idea! I know . . . this whoel disaster in Haiti is so hard to discuss or watch on TV. We’ve donated $ already, and seriously I’ve considered adopting a child (even tho we don’t even have our own yet!!!) b/c it’s so devastating to even think about.

    Great idea, I wish you guys the best of luck and keep us updated!!!

  8. Great Idea! Loving how much support they are doing.
