Safe Water Update - Philanthropy

For those of you who have been tracking with me over the past couple of years through the Gray Institute GIFT mentoring program or my Performance Matters Management Series (email), you are aware of my advocacy for safe water for impoverished families in developing countries.

I'm pleased to share with you some exciting news that was announced this week concerning the structural reorganization of the global HydrAid BioSand Filter safe water initiative. The HydrAid initiative has been transferred from International Aid, Inc to a new joint venture involving Cascade Engineering and The Windquest Group.

The HydrAid program was launched by International Aid, Inc in 2007. I was privileged to serve on International Aid's Board of Directors during that time and to later provide operational leadership for HydrAid during its implementation in 2008. The recent reorganization increases HydrAid reach and capacity to provide safe water and save lives throughout the developing world.

The following links provide details about the HydrAid Filter and the new Joint Venture. The HydrAid filter is being used in an innovative program involving Thirsting To Serve (a Rotary nonprofit organization) and Project Handclasp (a US Navy nonprofit organization).

I invite you to join me in making a making a tax-deductible charitable contribution to Thirsting To Serve. Your donation is a real Game Changer for families in desperate need!

Thanks !

Bob
