Clean Water for Haiti Website

Clean Water for Haiti is a volunteer run, faith based mission and humanitarian aide organization that works to provide sustainable solutions to the water crisis in Haiti.

This is a fact: The World Health Organization has declared Haiti the world's most water-impoverished country. As many as 50% of the people in Haiti have no access to clean water and over 70% have no sanitary sewers.

One reason why I chose this organization is that between 90-95% of all donations go directly to the mission and not to marketing and administrative costs. I encourage you all to browse their website and get a better feel of what the organization does.

The website is www.cleanwaterforhaiti.org

Talk to you all soon.

Change 15,000 Lives Run

Water is vital to people's health and livelihoods yet so many people around the world do not have access to it. In Haiti, over 5 million people or half the entire population do not have access to clean drinking water, therefore I propose we do something about it. I’d like to introduce you to an organization called Clean Water For Haiti. (www.cleanwaterforhaiti.org) On May 3rd I will be running a marathon for this organization and I am calling it the, "Change 15,000 Lives Run" This year, you can help raise $50,000 that will change 15,000 lives in Haiti. The goal is to raise awareness and to help improve the lives of men, women, and children living in Haiti. I am calling you to participate in this campaign. Our goal is to provide Biosand water filters to over 1250 homes, in which over 15,000 people will benefit from and live happier and healthier lives. God has called us to serve. This is a great way to make a difference in 2009. Yes the economy is in a slump, however we are still blessed and can bless others.Let's change 15,000 Lives FOREVER!

Please encourage your friends and colleagues to help in any way they can and make a difference in this world! We can start with Haiti!
