Waters of Love

 

Fresh water is a priceless commodity!

 

Along with poverty, the unavailability of fresh drinking water is an urgent need for one in every six people. The World Health Organization estimates that 80% of the world's diseases stem from impure drinking water and food.

 

More than 1.8 million children under the age of five die each year from illness associated with contaminated drinking water. Primary diseases contracted from unclean drinking water include cholera, diarrhea, typhoid, roundworm, hepatitis and dysentery.

 

It is estimated that over 80% of India's population does not have access to clean drinking water. Indians regularly drink water from lakes, ponds and rivers. This is the same water used for bathing, laundry and watering cattle.

 

This reality is especially true for rural villages. In Andhra Pradesh, a mostly rural Indian state, there are over 3,000 villages without a water source! Rural Indian women spend an average of four hours a day collecting and purifying drinking water. According to The World Health Organization, India's water shortage is expected to worsen in the coming years.

 

Fresh water is indeed a commodity that represents an urgent human need. Its supply represents a life-giving place of importance in the affairs of Indian village governments and their various functions.

 

Quenching thirst with clean, running water
In addition to sharing the Gospel, Oasis meets tangible needs. We drill fresh-water wells that supply clean, running water for an entire village. On average 250 people visit an Oasis well each day. Oasis has drilled over 220 fresh-water wells with plans to drill 70 more in 2009.

 

You can help! You can sponsor the drilling of a fresh-water well in India for $1,000 U.S. dollars that will provide a daily supply of clean-running water to an average of 250 people. That's just $4 to supply one person with with their daily water needs.
