Water Updates

This year, we’ve distributed 150 life-changing water filters in the Lukka district of Uganda. These filters are making a profound impact, improving health and increasing both school attendance for children and productivity for adults.In just two weeks, the percentage of people reporting no water-related health issues surged from 11% to 30%! With fewer days lost to illness, families are able to spend more time at work and school, while also reducing their medical expenses.

The Impact Nations family has expanded to Brazil! This summer, 150 families received water filters which will set them free from regular trips to the hospital. Clean water can bring economic freedom overnight as medical issues are resolved almost immediately.

Our friends in the Philippines have just completed a 4-day trip to distribute water filters in Southern Leyte. Eight villages received 129 water filters. This means that 1,290 households are now enjoying safe and clean drinking water.

The Impact Nations family just provided another 200 filters to be distributed in the district of Leyte in the Philippines. Leyte was hit very hard by a Typhoon in December and these filters are empowering communities to rebuild without having to fear their drinking water. During our first trip a few weeks ago, one civil planning officer took time to make a video thanking you for your impact.
