Having access to safe, clean drinking water is a fundamental human right. Yet millions of people around the world are forced to drink dirty, bacteria-infested water because of drought, war, or famine.

With your support we will provide clean water for the more than one million refugees taking shelter in Uganda. A $75 donation will purchase a water filter which can be used to provide water to more than a dozen people.

The Comboni Missionaries in North America are partnering with Water with Blessings, a non-profit group in Northern Kentucky that provides easy-to-use water filtration systems to those who need them most.

Water with Blessings describes their work, noting: “Using technology inspired by our own biology, the Sawyer PointONE filter system functions much like kidney dialysis does to filter out impurities in the water, leaving clean, drinkable water. This amazingly effective filter can be set up in five minutes. It requires only a five-gallon container and the filtration kit. It is simple enough that adults of all education levels can learn how to use it. No electricity and no complicated maintenance to guarantee a lifetime of clean, safe water!”

For just $75, several families could be blessed with a life-saving water filtration system. And with access to safe water, these families will no longer need to worry about water-borne illnesses that can cause severe illness and even death.

Thank you for your kindness. And thank you for helping the refugees in Northern Uganda.
