The health and livelihood of more that one-third of our world-wide population is negatively impacted by the global water crisis. Thirsty Child exists to change this. Our solutions help to enhance the lives of people in dramatic ways, through improved health, education, and economic development.
HOW WE HELP
Our water filters and other water sanitation systems enable children to be healthy, go to school and learn, enjoy their childhood, and not have to suffer the burden of helping their family spend time locating and transporting safe water. They can be kids.
Parents are spared the agony of watching their children suffer the needless impact of unsafe water consumption. Household budgets are enhanced as parents spend less money on medicines and medical treatment for sick children. These resources can be re-directed toward improved nutrition, education, and school supplies.
Communities that receive water sanitation systems which provide clean water solutions for all residents are able to focus their attention on working, starting businesses, and educating their children once they are free from the time-consuming challenges of sourcing and transporting safe water.
Every dollar invested in clean water solutions yields over $6.00 in economic return!
OUR APPROACH
We lead with our faith. People we serve recognize immediately that we are helping them because of our desire to live-out the “Love your neighbor” principle, (Matthew 12:31). Our service teams employ faith-filled volunteers, social workers, pastors, and engineers. Beyond that, we work closely with local pastors in our communities to help identify the best opportunities for clean water solutions investments, while simultaneously including those pastors in our projects so that the Church is supported and honored.
