WHY

There are approximately 800 million people


that do not have clean drinking water. Every
year, 1.4 million children die due to waterrelated diseases.
Often times, these deaths are preventable
through proper hygiene, sanitation and
oral rehydration.

WATER
Water is our most basic need. Yet not everyone is able to
simply turn on the tap for a fresh glass of water to quench
their thirst.
Women and children around the world spend millions
of hours collecting water, which is often polluted and
causes sickness.

According to the UN, diseases from unsafe


water and the lack of basic sanitation kill
more people every year than all forms of
violence, including war.

Children miss valuable school time, due to water-related


illnesses. Mothers cannot look after their children and family
because of the heavy burden of collecting water. Girls can
be subjected to sexual assault by predators while walking
long distances for water.

The fact that 1 out of 10 people do not


have water is not right.

Lack of water doesnt only affect a persons health, but


a persons whole future.

It is an injustice.

I KNOW THIS

WATER COULD KILL


MY CHILDREN
BUT WHAT ELSE AM
I TO GIVE THEM?

THE WATER CRISIS IS HUGE


BUT WE ARE NOT WITHOUT
SOLUTIONS
JUSTICEWATER was founded on the words hope
and change. We believed change could be a reality. We
believed that if we could find ways to inspire hope in places
that needed clean water, change would come from within.
Our desire was to use simple technologies, which were
available within the nations we were working. Our desire
was to give a hand up and equip local people in their
countries to bring solutions to the water crisis. As we
have trained and partnered with people in Africa, Asia
and Central America, we have witnessed the amazing
stories of those suffering from the water crisis, bringing the
solutions themselves.
Change is a reality! Thank you for partnering with us!

TRAINING
We believe training is one of the most valuable and effective ways of
multiplying water projects around the world. As the quote goes Give
a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a
lifetime, we work to equip and empower people to create a better future
for themselves and their families. People learn how to secure safe water
sources and to maintain a hygienic and sanitary lifestyle - all utilizing
sustainable technologies.

PROJECTS
Short term teams from Youth With A Mission travel to underdeveloped
countries to train local people and build rain catchment tanks, bio
sand filters and latrines for 2-3 months. All of our teams are made up of
volunteers who are motivated by compassion and who selflessly serve
those in need. These teams work hand-in-hand with local people on every
project, empowering those who will carry on the projects even after the
teams leave.

AWARENESS AND FUNDRAISING


JUSTICEWATER strives to bring attention to this devastating crisis. We
hope to inspire people to become a part of the solution. There is something
each of us can do to bring an end to innocent children dying of waterrelated sicknesses.

EDUCATION

RAIN CATCHMENT TANKS

BIO SAND FILTERS

TIPPY TAPS & SINKS

Its not about doing projects


ourselves. In all that we do, we focus
on educating and training the local
people with life-giving technologies
so that they themselves can bring
the change.

Rain is a free, clean and renewable


resource. Harvesting rain water for
drinking is a great option in various
countries in South East Asia, Central
Africa and South America, where
rain is plentiful.

A large container is filled with coarse


sand and water. After 20-30 days, a
friendly micro-organic layer develops
on the top portion of the sand.

We help people understand the


importance of clean water, hygiene
and sanitation; how water gets
contaminated and how to treat
drinking water.

We build a large ferro-cement tank


by a house, school or orphanage,
and collect the rain water that comes
off the roof using gutters that are
connected to the tank.

In places where water is scarce,


people dont want to use what
little water they have for hygiene.
We can help communities build a
water tap system that dispenses
only the necessary amount of water
for hand washing.

Dirty water is poured into the top of


the filter. The water flows through
the bio layer and then through the
deep layer of sand. By the time it
comes out of the filter up to 99% of
pathogens are eliminated, making it
safe to drink.

A sink can be created using a little


cement and PVC pipes to collect the
water from hand-washing.

LATRINES & SEPTIC TANKS

DRILLED WELLS

RIPPLE EFFECT MANUAL

LITTLE RIPPLES CURRICULUM

In order to prevent contamination,


we teach households how to build
latrines and septic tanks in simple
and affordable ways.

When rain catchment tanks are


not a viable option in a country,
JUSTICEWATER parters with likeminded organizations to drill a well.

The Ripple Effect is an 18-hour


water development course by
JUSTICEWATER . Course content
includes step-by-step guides to
building rain catchment tanks, hand
pumps, bio-sand filters, and latrines.
It also provides practical training on
how to safely disinfect water and
proper hygiene practices.

This material has been used in


orphanages and schools around the
world to develop healthy habits for
new generations. When you educate
a child, you are leaving them with
something lasting. Practical training
in the areas of sanitation, hygiene
and water safety is a gift that will
continue to give!

THE LIVING WATER


James 2:14-17 shows us that we cannot
neglect a persons physical needs while
speaking of Gods love. As we work with
communities on water, sanitation and
hygiene, we are fully committed to share
about the Living Water, Jesus Christ.
We believe that giving the gift of clean
water reveals Christs heart to those who
are thirsty, those who have been walking
miles and miles for drinking water, and
to those who have been getting sick
from dirty water.
