Fighting Waterborne Diseases with Water Filters

Water shouldn’t have a distinct red color when pulled from a well—but that’s exactly what thousands of impoverished families see when they go to draw water. Water shouldn’t make you sick—but that’s exactly the threat thousands of poverty-stricken people face from their only available source of drinking water.

A Global Water Crisis

Gospel for Asia (GFA) pastors & missionaries will provide Jesus Wells or BioSand water filters to villages and individuals who need them most — Kaigan and his children, pictured, are now able to drink pure water thanks to their new BioSand water filter.

Access to clean, pure water remains a major issue for destitute communities in Africa and Asia. Close to 785 million people collect water from contaminated sources, and around 144 million draw their water directly from ponds, rivers, lakes and streams. Those same water sources can harbor numerous contaminants and are among the causes of 485,000 diarrheal related deaths every year.

That is why Gospel for Asia (GFA World) missionaries make it a point to identify communities in need of pure water and help meet that need. Whether it is to raise awareness of the importance of clean water on World Water Day or provide solutions to water crises, Gospel for Asia (GFA) pastors and missionaries will provide Jesus Wells or BioSand water filters to villages and individuals who need them most.
