Did you know 6,500 people--5,000 of those children--will die today because they don't have access to clean water?? Get this...1.1 billion people across the globe do not have access to clean water...that number is insane...wow! Unless you've been to a poverty stricken nation like Ghana or Kenya...you can't begin to comprehend the dire situation unfolding in that corner of the world. Ken Surritte has traveled the globe...he's seen the desperation firsthand. The Edmond native runs Water is Life...a non-profit that distributes filtered straws to adults and children who don't have access to clean water. The organization also builds boar wells that can supply water for up to 5,000 people.
A $10 donation will put one filter in the hands of a child and save their life for one year.
Currently all funds donated will go to help in the relief efforts in Haiti. You can donate safely and securely online...just head to http://waterislife.com/donate/
