The gift of clean water continues!

In the last three months the Trailblazer Water Filter team has delivered and installed 102 bio-sand water filters to new families.  This means another 1,500 plus individuals will now have access to clean water for drinking, cooking and washing dishes, resulting in an improvement to the health of their families so they can work and farm more effectively to better support their family.

Because our Water Filter and Well Drilling teams are frequently in rural villages and have a good relationship and report with villagers, some villagers reported that they were having a problem with their bio-sand water filter.  These families understand the importance of clean water and wanted to once again enjoy the benefits of potable water.  The Trailblazer team, therefore, spent time to maintain those 26 bio-sand water filters that were not functioning properly.  Now over 300 individuals will be able to keep themselves healthy because of the repair made to those bio-sand water filters.

The village woman in the photo, though her life is simple and she and her family are true victims of poverty, living in a palm leaf hut, owning no livestock, having no food stocks or means of transportation, Trailblazer has been able to give them the most basic of needs, clean water, and hope of a better life thanks to the kindness of donors who wanted to make a difference.

You too can make a difference.  It's not complicated, all it takes is a willingness to help.  With $80 USD you can impact 15 people [that equates to one, two or three families] by providing them with the gift of a bio-sand water filter.  A gift that keeps on giving!  Please, give today.  Thank you for helping make the world a better, healthier place.
