Returning to Heartland
Heartland Girls Rural Life Training Center: Sister Donna Frances has an orphanage
and school on the shore of Lake Awassa in Ethiopia.
In this remote area, every time kids take a drink from the local stream or lake, they are playing biological Russian Roulette.
In response to such dire conditions Waves For Water was asked to intervene. Jack Rose and Jamie Grumet designed a solution, and after successful fundraising efforts, Jack flew from California to Ethiopia with 80 water filters - enough to bring safe drinking water to over 8,000 people.
Everyone agrees safe drinking water is a basic human right – that children around the world shouldn’t have to suffer when they quench their thirst from the local stream, pond, lake or river. Enter brilliant technology, in the form of a point-of-use, hollow-fiber water filter, which allows these common water sources to be 100% safe to drink. Village by village, in every far corner of the world, we advance towards our goal of water for everyone by bringing water to some, everyday.
The timely collaboration of Jamie, Jack and Sister Donna, along with the participation of friends and colleagues, has effectively removed the risk of illness and death caused by daily exposure to water-borne disease.
Thousands of kids, and local villagers, no longer have to suffer from drinking contaminated water.
