Review for Water is Basic, Dallas, TX, USA
I heard Steve Roese from Water is Basic speak at my church in 2014 and was grieved by the staggering statistics about the severe need for clean water in South Sudan. I was impressed by the way they work with the Sudanese people to drill their own wells and train them how to maintain them. They are committed to teach them to be self sustaining. Steve came to speak again this year at my church and shared about the bombings in South Sudan and all the displaced families running for their lives with no clean water and even worse, some of their family members and friends have died in the bombings. Water is Basic is now helping in a profound way by sending Sawyer water filters that attach to any bucket and filter out 99.?(some crazy amount) of all pathogens that cause disease, and better yet, after purifying 300 gallons of water, you only need to rinse the filter in clean water and use it again, never having to replace it. Water is Basic is trending with the times, and does what is needed to get the job done. They have a campaign to get as many of these water filter systems into the hands of the Sudanese as soon as possible. For a mere $20, you can save many lives. I was also inspired by his words that said, "Don't get celebrity paralysis; One person in the hand of God can make a profound difference."
"We have so much in the US and I am very thankful. As an artist my passion is to use the gifts and resources I have to do fundraisers for those less fortunate than myself. I create and sell artwork and use my culinary skills to make soup and gourmet popcorn for this great cause. I want my small investment to make a difference! Water is Basic is a great organization to link arms with to transform lives with the gift of clean water."
