Good Cause - HydrAid Safe Water

I've had the privilege to consult with a client the past few months that is dedicated to providing safe water to impoverished people world wide - HydrAid TM BioSand water filter. HydrAid is a subsidiary of International Aid, a faith-based not-for-profit (501 (c)(3) company.

They provide simple to use water filters that produce 75 gallons of safe water daily - that's enough for all of the water needs for a household of 10 people. The filter will last at least a decade. The cost is a mere $50 each. Heck, at that price donate one each month!

Did you know that unsafe water carries disease. Unsafe water is the cause of about half of the disease in the world - more than AIDs and cancer combined! And waterborne illnesses are killing more than 5,000 children each and every day. It is the largest cause of death for children–nearly one child every 15 seconds.

You can make a difference. Visit their website at http://www.hydraid.org/ to learn more. And, while you are there join with me in making a donation.

Consider what you likely spend on coffee and bottled beverages each month, then give generously. You will be glad you did! Your gift will be health giving and life saving.

Oh, and be sure to share the HydrAid story with friends and family.
