YOUR HELP IS URGENTLY NEEDED FOR OUR HAITI MISSION ! DONATE HERE OR VISIT www.worldwaterrelief-haiti.org TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR MISSION IN HAITI AND HOW YOU CAN HELP.
The people of Haiti urgently need clean water for drinking, sanitation and medical treatment. If they are not provided with this basic need immediately, and, if it cannot be sustained for the foreseeable future, the loss of life will be cataclysmic. We have deployed two of our team members and 18 self-sustaining portable water filtration units to Haiti. Many more will be needed in the days and weeks to come. Donations of any amount are appreciated. Rest assured that 100% of your donation will go toward the cost of the water systems for Haiti. You may donate by clicking through on the donation button on the left or by visiting www.worldwaterrelief-haiti.org where you will find up to the minute news coverage on our efforts in Haiti. Please help us make a difference and save lives. Checks are also accepted World Water Relief

Atlanta, GA 30350-2810 These are a few facts* about the water crisis facing the world today which should give you an indication of how valuable freshwater has already become – for all of us: - To ensure our basic needs, we all need 20 to 50 litres of water free from harmful contaminants each and every day;
- A child born in the developed world consumes thirty to fifty times as much water resources as one in the developing world;
- Rapid growth of the world’s population has been one of
the most visible and dramatic changes to the world over
the last 100 years. Population growth has huge implica-
tions for all aspects of resource use, including water; - Worldwide, per capita water supplies decreased by a third between 1970 and 1990, and there is little doubt that population growth has been and will continue to be one of the main drivers of changes to patterns of water resource use;
- A number of scenarios have been developed based on the most recent UN population projections. Based on these projections, the future for many parts of the world looks bleak. The most alarming projection suggests that nearly 7 billion people in 60 countries will suffer from water scarcity by 2050. Even according to conservative projections, just under 2 billion people in 48 countries will struggle against water scarcity in 2050. Read More...
