Our goal is to raise $10,000
to distribute 200 filters
(that will serve
approximately 1,000
residents) in Los Alcarrizos.
Added
Cholera Outbreak Goal:
Distribute 200 extra filters
for Cholera outbreak control
help.
The Challenge
Unsafe water and inadequate
sanitation account for 88%
of the 4 billion cases of
diarrhea reported worldwide
annually.
Upwards of 5,000 cases of
diarrhea are reported weekly
in the Dominican Republic.
Diarrhea is the leading
cause of diagnosed death
among children ages 1 to 4
in the Dominican Republic.
Access to potable water is
sporadic and unreliable.
What
is the Dominican Foundation
doing to help?
Initiating a project of
water management and
sanitation at the household
level using non-electric
water filters and sanitation
education
Providing water filtration
systems to families in
communities in need.
Learn more about how the water filters solve household water and storage challenges.
How
Can You Help?
Adopt a
family and provide them
clean water¦provide them LIFE:
$50 will cover the cost of a
water filter system for a
family of 5 for one year.
That is $0.14 cents per day
to help reduce the risk of
life-threaten diseases these
families face on a daily
basis.
