Hope 2 Others Water Filters in Madagascar
Did you know that at least 2.2 billion people rely on water supplies that are unsafe, putting them at risk of contracting cholera, dysentery, typhoid and polio? (UNWATER 2021) (UNICEF WASH)
Education Equals Hope’s students in Madagascar are a part of this 2.2 billion.
Since piloting our water filter distribution and training in Kitale, Kenya, the communities in which we serve have received over 2,900 filters. We have also expanded our Hope 2 Others water filter initiative to include five schools in Madagascar and a community in Ecuador.
Our desire is to provide a Hope 2 Others (H2O) filter to each of our students, their families and the community in which they live.
YOU CAN HELP US CHANGE LIVES!
You can provide a family or classroom with fresh, clean drinking water for up to three years for $50. This will cover the cost of the filter, a new bucket to hold the clean water, installation, training and follow up, shipping, customs, taxes, etc. *
If you would like to give regularly to the work in Madagascar, why not sponsor a child for $30 a month - for more details see https://educationequalshope.org/madagascar/. Education truly is the best means for escaping the vicious cycle of poverty.
Would you be willing to provide our students and their families with clean water so that they can possibly attend school, without their education being interrupted by water-borne illness?
*Each student’s Hope 2 Others filter can clean up to 250 gallons of water per day and could potentially last up to 10 years. However, our plan is to replace the filters every three years because of the extreme uncleanliness of the water where our students live.
