When it comes to providing clean water, it's not hard to make a difference in a community. Even a small gift makes a big impact, because clean water affects all areas of life. Once clean water starts flowing, so do all the other benefits: better health, better school attendance for children, more time for women to work at home or spend time with their families, improved crop yields, and more economic activity in a community.

If you give $1,040 to supply a village with a hand pump, you've made an excellent investment in the health and well-being of children, families, and an entire community.

A gift of $520 can help train five people to maintain that new pump as well as teach others in the village about proper hygiene.

Just $270 can provide a treadle pump for irrigation, helping families tend their crops more effectively and grow more food.

And $8,640 can protect the health of children and families by installing a water purification system.

There are many ways to get involved in changing the lives of children and families in Ethiopia. Please contact World Vision today to learn more about how you can add water … and change everything.
