Imagine being forced to choose between letting your child drink contaminated water or watching them suffer from thirst. For millions of families in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), this is not a choice—it's a devastating daily reality.
Right now, in the North Kivu province of the DRC, a forgotten crisis is unfolding. Years of brutal conflict have forced millions from their homes, destroying the basic infrastructure we take for granted. Water wells are broken, pipes are shattered, and entire communities are left without a single drop of safe water.
The result is a catastrophe. In places like Masisi, there are over 127 new cases of cholera every single month. It’s a deadly, fast-moving disease that preys on the most vulnerable—especially children. Families are also facing outbreaks of measles and monkeypox, all amplified by the lack of clean water for basic hygiene.
But we have practical solutions to stop this and all we need your help to make it happen.
We've partnered with PALPER asbl, a heroic local NGO working on the front lines. They know the communities, they understand the challenges, and they are ready to act. Together, we're launching an emergency response to bring life-saving water solutions directly to the families who need them most. This isn't just about charity; it's about empowerment. We’re not just handing out water bottles—we’re building sustainable solutions that will last.
Here’s how your donation will directly save lives:
For the price of a few coffees, you can provide immediate relief. Your gift will help us distribute household water filters and purification kits that can turn contaminated water into safe, drinkable water in minutes.
A larger gift helps rebuild a community's future. We will use funds to repair broken wells and install powerful, community-scale filtration systems at local health clinics and schools. This ensures that doctors have the safe water they need to treat patients and that children have a healthy environment to learn in.
Your Impact is Real and Measurable:
- $25 can provide a family with a life-saving household water filter and safe storage container, protecting them from cholera for an entire year.
- $100 can supply the essential pipes and parts needed to help repair a damaged community well, restoring water for hundreds of people.
- $500 makes a huge contribution toward a community-scale purification system for a health clinic, stopping the spread of disease at its source. We estimate this is more than 50% of the cost for a treatment system that could  serve thousands.
Every dollar you give will go directly to purchasing and installing these water systems. You are not just donating money; you are providing a lifeline. You are giving a child a chance to grow up healthy, a family the dignity of a clean glass of water, and a community the foundation it needs to rebuild.
Please join us. Your compassion can turn the tide against this silent crisis. Donate today and give the gift of life.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
