I am writing from my workshop, but my mind is with the families in our neighboring townships. For weeks, the news has shown the same heartbreaking scenes: floods receding, but leaving behind contaminated wells and destroyed water infrastructures. Families are coming home to houses that are destroyed, but they have nothing safe to drink. They are forced to choose between risking sickness or spending what little they have on bottled water.

I am a problem-solver by nature. I look at a challenge and start sketching. And the challenge I see is this: How can a family with no power and a contaminated well get clean water?

The answer, I believe, is in the sky. So, I’ve been building.

I am developing a simple, self-contained solar-powered water purification and pumping system. I call it SunFlow. Its job is straightforward: take water from a dirty source—a flooded well, a muddy creek—and use only the energy from the sun to pump it, filter it, and make it safe to drink.

The system uses a small but efficient solar panel to power a pump. That pump pulls water through a series of filters, including a ceramic filter and an activated carbon stage, designed to remove bacteria, sediment, and harmful chemicals. What comes out is clean, life-sustaining water. It's not hooked to a grid. It's portable. It's for a family.

I have a working prototype. It’s not pretty, but it’s functional. In tests, it has turned brown, silty water clear and safe. The promise it holds for a mother who can’t give her child a clean glass of water is what keeps me working through the night.

But my ability to help is limited to what I can build alone on my own budget. I have reached my limit.

This is my personal mission: to get these systems into the hands of families who are waiting for help that is taking too long to arrive. But I cannot do it alone.

My goal is to build and distribute the first 100 SunFlow units to families identified by local community leaders as being in the most critical need. Your support will not go to overhead—it will go directly into the parts I assemble.

Here is what your contribution builds:

· $50 funds the core filtration cartridge for one system.

· $120 provides the solar panel and charge controller that powers the pump.

· $250 covers the complete kit: pump, tubing, filters, and a rugged storage case for one SunFlow unit.

I am not a charity. I am a person with a skill and a garage. I will build every unit personally. This is about turning sunlight into security, Into health and Into one less unbearable worry for families that has already lost so much.

Please, help me help them. Let’s build a wave of clean water, powered by the sun.

P.S. This is direct-action engineering. Your donation doesn't just fund an idea; it buys a specific pump, a specific filter, that will provide for a specific family. Please share this with anyone who believes in clean water as a fundamental right. Thank you.
