Help Provide Clean Drinking Water

Hello Family and Friends!

 

Through one of my oldest and dearest friends, Alistair Imrie and his buddy Nick Hill, I have become inspired to help the Kichwa people and the community of Sarayaku, a village in the Amazonic region of Ecuador. They have serious water issues which are causing significant levels of illness among the community and particularly the children. 

 

For that reason, this coming February, we will be traveling up the Amazon River to the Sarayaku Tribe and will be installing a water filtration system that will provide enough water for the entire Tribe. We will be bringing the equipment form overseas and personally building and installing the system.

 

You can see more about the Aqua tower and Aqua Home systems we will be installing at https://planet-water.org/what-we-do
The community is very remote and has no electricity so we will have to employ a mechanical pump to elevate the water to the altitude we need in order for the filtration plant to work.

In all the systems and their components will cost around $20,000.

 

Please join my efforts, spread some holiday cheer, and considering donating to the cause.

 

Much appreciated,

Thomas
