Clean water is a gift that can’t wait

At Easter, we celebrate Jesus’s enormous love – love that conquers death and brings light to darkness. Because of the greatness of this love, we are called to share it with our neighbors.

And today, our neighbors need our love more than ever.

A mother in Haiti collects water from a creek near her home. It’s her only option. Not knowing it’s contaminated, she gives it to her 3-year-old daughter to drink. The girl quickly sickens to near death.

Huddled in the mountains, hiding from the violence of war, a family in Yemen must ration what little water they have. There’s barely enough to drink, let alone to wash hands. The children are frequently sick, and the dry season is coming.

The painful cries of a 1-year-old baby in the Democratic Republic of Congo pierce the air as he slowly dies from dysentery — because his village doesn’t have proper sanitation. There are no bathrooms, no places for handwashing, no safe water.

DONATE NOW

We can’t reach these children without you. By sharing your blessings and giving generously today:

• Your love will bring rainwater collection tanks that deliver gallons of clean, filtered water to schools and remote villages in the poorest of countries.
   
• Your love will provide water purification tablets that allow children to drink water without getting sick.
   
• Your love will help install handwashing stations to stop diseases from spreading among families and children.

Your generous gifts to Lutheran World Relief mean children and their parents will not die from preventable diseases, and families will be able to create sustainable futures for themselves.

So please bring life-giving, clean water solutions to children and families in need this Easter by making your generous gift now.
