# Kathmandu, Nepal
//-
#### Project Details
* **Location:** Kathmandu, Nepal
* **Dates:** Fall 2024
* **Distribution Partner:** ROAM Humanitarian
* **Volunteers:** 15
* **Filters Distributed:** 25
* **Estimated People Served:** 100+
### Your $50 donation saves children's lives
Clean, safe water is a basic need and right for everyone, regardless of where they live.
In November 2024, 15 volunteers traveled with our distribution partner  to Kathmandu, Nepal where they visited a community known by people in the area as the slums. Families in this community live in tents and makeshift homes in overcrowded living situations next to a black, dirty river. Because of the state of the river, most families collected water from a small well, but this well also provides contaminated water because it is too shallow to reach clean water.
Communities like this are where  are needed most to make immediate life saving change.
When volunteers arrived in this community they immediately began helping individuals assemble water filters and instructing them on filter maintenance and water hygiene. They took the time to empower each community member to take pride in their filters and the opportunities and health it will bring them and their families.

One of the most powerful and important moments during these trainings is when volunteers demonstrate how to use the filters, and most importantly, when they show that they can safely drink the water available in the area. When volunteers asked a community member to get water from the blackened river for her to filter and drink, they refused because they knew just how harmful the water was. But after filtering and drinking the water from the contaminated river, people were overcome with awe and excitement for the power, hope, and opportunities that they now have with their filters.This one day will have a lifelong impact on the 100+ people who now have clean, safe water in this community.
Thank you for changing lives and making water projects like these possible through your donations.
Caring has a ripple effect. Help us provide even more water filters to families and communities in need of clean water by  today.

# Siem Reap, Cambodia

* **Location:** Siem Reap, Cambodia
* **Distribution Leadership:** ROAM Humanitarian
* **Filters Distributed:** 40
* **Estimated People Served:** 320
Lifting and empowering individuals through clean water and education is a global community effort.
Water for Life Charity worked with  to distribute 40  to impoverished families living in a remote village outside of Siem Reap. Each of these water filters will provide enough clean water for a family—and a few of their neighbors—every single day for years to come.
Water filters are a significant step in empowering these families with clean water and the resources to leave poverty.
Like all of our water projects, we work with local organizations to understand unique local needs and to find the best way to distribute and educate individuals on clean water resources and water hygiene. For this water project we distributed water filters at the , which works to share educational opportunities with children in rural Cambodian villages.
Since using water filters is such a novel experience compared to current water practices (boiling water), trainings and demonstrations are essential to educate and empower individuals to access and use clean water. This also ensures sustainability and that individuals will continue using their water filters correctly after our volunteers leave.
After assembling the filter kits, volunteers demonstrated how to properly use water filters by collecting rainwater—water that would normally require boiling—and showing the local women how the filters will simplify their daily routines. Despite being initially hesitant, the women watched as volunteers confidently drank the safe water, and then practically ran to receive their own!
VF100 water filters truly have the power to change and save lives. While before these families and mothers had to spend precious time collecting and boiling water or purchasing it from a local market at a high cost, they can now use the water already available to them to have clean, safe water whenever they need it. Women will now have the time to better care and provide for their families. Children will now have the time and health to attend school and learn valuable skills to provide for their families and leave poverty. Clean water is changing lives.
Help change more lives through clean water by  today.

# Chimaltenango, Guatemala
* **Location:** Chimaltenango, Guatemala
* **Distribution Leadership:** Water4Life Ministry, Sarape Social
* **Filters Distributed:** 2,000
* **Estimated People Served:** 16,000
Chimaltenango, Guatemala is one of our largest and most collaborative water projects.
In partnership with our sister charity , we sent a total of 2,000 VF100 water filters to mothers and their families in  and the surrounding area over the course of one year. Filter distribution, assembly and maintenance training, and water hygiene education was primarily led by our local distribution partner , which was funded by a Kellog’s Better Days grant.
The number of people and organizations that came together to share sustainable clean water resources with families in need proves just how much good can be accomplished when we work together to end the world water crisis.
This specific water project is particularly unique because it focused primarily on mothers.
In Hispanic culture mothers are the heart of the family and community. By focusing on mothers—the primary caregivers and decision makers—clean water filters and clean water hygiene and the benefits it provides is better adopted into the home and community as a whole.
Similar to other water projects, the Chimaltenango area was chosen and prioritized based on high poverty levels and the large lack of clean water.
Guatemala as a whole has a number of challenges that make it a high priority for receiving clean water resources. Guatemala is the number one country in Latin America for child malnutrition and its levels of stunting in children under the age of five is close to 50%. In addition to this,  the population uses drinking water from an infrastructure source that is available when needed and free from contamination, and 30% off the population lacks basic sanitation resources.
But with water challenges also comes the incredible opportunities that can be shared when water needs are met.
Now that families in the Chimaltenango area have  and access to clean, safe drinking water, they can experience improved health. Better health not only improves overall wellbeing but also allows children to attend school and individuals to work to better provide for their families. Now that families can make water safe to drink from the water available to them, they can save the money they were using to purchase water from markets and start leaving the bonds on poverty.
Clean water changes and saves lives, just as it has done in Chimaltenango, Guatemala. Help share more clean water in communities around the world by  today.

## Bringing hope and safe water to the next generation
Clean water, education, and poverty are all connected.
In developing countries that lack clean water, children are often tasked with finding and carrying water for their families, usually taking them away from the opportunity to go to school. When there are no available water sources nearby, families are forced to purchase clean water at a high cost, also making it difficult to send children to school. In addition to this, waterborne illnesses keep children from going to school and further educational and economic opportunities.
In partnership with , Water for Life Charity is working to provide better educational opportunities and health through clean water.
Water for Life Charity distributed 25  to three Cultivating Cambodia schools, as well as local community leaders. Before, individuals would boil water to get rid of any bacteria. The school had water faucets, but without boiling it, the children, teachers and community members could not safely drink the water right in front of them.
Local Cultivating Cambodia volunteers installed and attached filters to water faucets so that children and community members could go to school and not have to worry about getting sick from the water.
The day VF100 water filters were installed, children, teachers and community members were lined up to drink clean, safe water.
After classes, children and teachers fill up water containers to bring home so that they can have water for the rest of the day. These water filters are changing lives by providing improved health and educational opportunities.
Our first water filter distribution trip to Siem Reap Province schools occurred July 2024, but we will be distributing more VF100 filters to additional schools and community members Fall 2024.
Help us distribute more water filters to Cambodian schools, improve educational opportunities, and share clean water by  to Water for Life Charity today.

## Addressing timely and ongoing water needs
Clean water has been a challenge in Pakistani communities for years. Most health issues in the country are tied to poor water quality and contaminated water sources. The lack of safe drinking water and high poverty levels create numerous challenges that affect daily life, even before natural disasters hit.
When catastrophic  affected the country in August 2022, tens of millions of individuals and families were left in a water crisis. Five point four million individuals—the majority children—were forced to drink water from contaminated sources, often contracting waterborne illnesses in the process.
To address this water crisis and share relief where it was needed most, Water for Life Charity partnered with  (HHRD) to distribute VF100 water filter kits in high-risk areas.
Two hundred ninety-six water filter kits were distributed to provide safe water for 1,776 individuals across six cities in Pakistan including Tando Muhammad Khan, Chitral, Kot Addu, Kot Momin, Lahore, and Islamabad.
The portable water filter kits that were provided to combat the effects of a natural disaster continue to provide clean, safe drinking water for families and neighbors today.
