Please tell us about the current programs going on at The Waterbearers?
Currently, our programs include Ecuador, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe, and Haiti.
During a natural disaster, we respond with relief efforts where and when we can.
After the recent horrific earthquake in Haiti, we knew that the number one priority was safe drinking water. Because we already had a partner, Waves For Water, in place, we could respond to this most critical need for safe water with “Buckets of Love,” including a *Sawyer filter kit, food and hygiene essentials.
However, emergency relief only provides temporary aid. It will take years to rebuild damaged water systems affecting more than 200,000 people, limiting their access to safe water for drinking and hygiene, putting them at risk of waterborne diseases.
