Clean Water Cause (Liquid Water)

Besides all the great fashions and wonderful vendors at The 2^nd Annual Fashion Compassion Runway Event, the event did benefit a great cause called Liquid Water. This non-profit organization definitely desired a post by itself separate from the event post that I previously wrote about.

            

Let me explain a little bit more about this organization… Liquid Church is a non-denominational Christian church with three locations across New Jersey. They have a passion for bringing clean drinking water to children and families in need in developing nations.  They have drilled dozens of wells and completed projects in Ethiopia, Central African Republic, Uganda, Haiti and El Salvador. They believe a cup of cold water can change the world, one life at a time.

            

They started www.LiquidWater.com as a 501© (3) non-profit to empower ordinary people and other organizations to join the clean water movement. Did you know that 1 in 9 people worldwide still do not have access to clean drinking water?

           

What they have done so far since 2009 through 2012; $713,000 has been invested in the clean water cause from drilling wells, purchasing equipment to supporting a village and helping others. As I mentioned above they have drilled 41 wells, 10 wells have been repaired ad 5 wells are planned for 2013. In El Salvador alone 5 wells were drilled and 3 more wells are planned to be drilled in 2013, in Nicaragua 2 wells are planned to be drilled in 2013, in Hati 4 wells are drilled and 10 wells have been repaired, in Central African Republic 2 wells drilled, in Uganda 3 wells have been drilled and in Ethiopia 27 wells were drilled.

            

They have brought clean water directly to more than 15,000 people drilling and repairing wells and through their partnership with Charity: Water they have donated $100,000 which was used to provide the 4,000 residents of Paclos, Haiti with a spring protection system, BioSand, filters and latrines as well as hygiene training.
