safe water - the gift of life - give safe drinking water to an african village●$7,000: Provide a Pick-up Truck One of the mainlogistical problems in developing countries is transportation. Theused pick-up trucks are constantly loaded to the limit and need tobe driven in extreme heat and over very rough roads. Withoutreliable transport, the safe water drilling program grinds to a halt.Your donation will purchase a used but sturdy pick-up truck totransport all their drilling equipment and supplies to the villages inneed of safe drinking water.●$3,000: Provide required training. Equipment, trucksand supplies alone do not provide safe drinking water. Localpeople need hands-on training and support from knowledgeablevolunteers to effectively drill boreholes, complete wells and buildhandpumps. A Liberian bishop helped dedicate the first welldrilled by Lifewater in Liberia by saying "Give a man a fish, andyou feed him for a day.... Teach him to fish, and you feed him for alifetime." Help empower local people by supporting volunteerswho travel overseas using their vacation time to provide requiredtraining and teaching.●$1,000-$2,000: Sponsor a safe village well. Thisgift includes a borehole, casing and screen, a cement pad and handpump. Your gift will have lasting benefits as it provides anaverage of 500 people with a nearby supply of clean, safe water.The total program cost of constructing wells averages $2,000USD/well.
