Blood:Water Mission

Posted by Chris Case | January 24, 2008 .

Clean blood. Clean water. That is the central focus of blood:water mission. Dan Haseltine, lead singer of band Jars of Clay, came back after a trip to Africa with a vision to bring clean drinking water to the continent as well as help clean out the HIV epidemic throughout the country. Their mission is twofold and profound, and they have already made great strides, partnering with major activist Christian musicians, such as Derek Webb and and Christopher Williams. They currently promoting a movement to build 1000 wells in 1000 communities throughout Africa, a continent that has constantly struggled with having any drinking water that is clean of parasites.

According to their calculation, $1 provides one year of clean drinking water per African, largely because one well can provide clean water for a whole village for years.  A clean well can greatly help the health of many, including the children.  If you are interested, click here to donate.

    This is a very cool way to help out. By the way, did you also see the 2008 initiative from PUR where they donate clean water to developing countries? I read about this on this site: http://www.sendasplash.com but you can also access it via http://www.givepurwater.org/magic or http://www.givepurwater.org
    I thought it was interesting…..
