Water Filters for Nepal

Rachel is raising money to help supply water filters for Nepal. RU4People  has been supplying water filters for families in the region. 

WHY WE SUPPORT:  Their website states, "Nepal is one of the poorest nations in the world with over 42% living below the poverty line, and only 27% with access to improved sanitation. Though most Nepali people have access to water, it is not safe. The water in the more urban areas is polluted by industrial waste and untreated sewage. This same waste leaks into streams and pollutes water in rivers and lakes that many in remote locations rely on as their only source of water. Water sources in rural areas are even polluted with natural contaminates. The most recent concern is groundwater contamination containing arsenic found in the tube wells that many still rely on.
As a result, waterborne illnesses such as dysentery, typhoid, and cholera run rampant. Children are the most affected with an astonishing 44,000 children under-five dying every year due to waterborne illness. That's 121 per day, and 5 per hour."

WHAT CAN YOU DO? One water filter is $38. That means $38 buys 1 MILLION gallons of CLEAN drinking water for an entire family in Nepal. It is THAT easy to make a difference. You can donate online or contact us at RU4People.com to learn how you can get involved first-hand.

Rachel is hoping to travel to Nepal in June 2019 to deliver filters.  YOUR SUPPORT HELPS FAMILIES TO HAVE ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER.  It will also provide travel expenses for Rachel to visit and distribute water filters in this region.

THANK YOU!!!!
