Quenching Thirst, Bringing Hope: GFA World Providing Sustainable Clean Water Solutions

Water is an essential resource for all life and plays a crucial role in our daily activities and well-being. According to the EPA, the average American home uses over 300 gallons of water per day. Everything from cooking and bathing to recreation. But in many parts of the world, access to clean water is not just a luxury, it’s a matter of survival.

The vital role clean water plays in sustaining health and improving social conditions cannot be understated. Yet there’s approximately 2 billion people in the world that have little to no access to clean drinking water. With no other options, many people risk life-threatening waterborne illnesses such as dysentery and cholera.

When parents become sick, they’re unable to work and provide for their children. And when children become sick, they miss school and fall behind in their education. These illnesses push families further into the cycle of poverty. But through the love of Christ, GFA World is working tirelessly on the front lines of this global water crisis by helping provide clean water solutions such as BioSand water filters and Jesus wells to communities in need. BioSand water filters are easy to maintain, removing 98% of contaminants and pathogens, making polluted water safe to drink.

Dug deeply into the ground, Jesus wells provide easy access to clean water throughout the year for an entire community. These clean water solutions not only help improve the health of a community, but it provides hope and a foundation for families to break free from the cycle of poverty. All done in and through the love of Christ.
