6 Ways to Give Joy This Christmas
December 17, 2014
1. Give a family the joy of dignity.
Lack of proper sanitation severely compromises the health and dignity of people around the world. Besides obvious health benefits, a Healthy Latrine™ provides dignity and safety to women and young girls who must otherwise walk long distances, often in the dark, for privacy. Give dignity through household latrines.
2. Sustain joy with the gift of solar power.
Solar power may be in vogue, but it’s also a key player in developing sustainable projects in the field. Gifting solar power for our safe water solutions lessens the burden of operational costs to keep a system running by harnessing green energy from an unlimited source. Added bonus: it also offers a power source to charge devices like batteries, lanterns, and mobile phones.
Invest in sustainability through solar power.
3. Give joy through training and education.
Providing a community with safe water is just one part of the process. To encourage use of that safe water, education is key. In WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) promotion, community members teach their neighbors about healthy sanitation and hygiene practices like hand washing. Impact generations through proper health education.
4. Give joy to a family this Christmas season.
Access to safe water does more than quench thirst and improve health. Families are given the freedom to thrive with healthy bodies and renewed hope for the future. Women and children no longer need to spend hours every day fetching water that will ultimately make them sick. Parents can divert money spent on clinic visits to food and school fees. Kids can focus on their studies, and moms are given more time to seek new opportunities for their families. Bring families together through easy access to safe water.
5. Give joy through innovative delivery methods of safe water to those in need.
Have you ever wondered how people get water in countries without household water and faucets? Well, thinking about it is our job. In addition to centrally located tap stands, we invest in the best distribution method for each community. Sometimes this is guys on bikes delivering a load of safe water to the elderly, handicapped, and those distant from the community. Invest in innovative ways to delivery safe water.
6. Give joy to one person through the gift of safe water this Christmas.
Supplying cups of clean water, that’s what we’re about. But realize that when we provide safe water, it’s not just a temporary fix to a problem. It’s a lifetime solution, meaning no more hours spent walking to fetch dirty water, no more sick children and fatigued bodies, and no more struggling to simply survive. Invest in safe water for life.
