River International- providing safe, clean drinking water.
We specifically target riverbank communities that lack safe, high-quality drinking water. Jesus called Himself the “Living Water”, and water is one of the basic necessities of human life. Yet this statistic breaks our heart:
42,000 deaths occur every week from unsafe water. 90% of these deaths are children under 5 years old.
Providing safe water for every community is an obtainable goal. With proper health education, filtration equipment, and personnel training, we can eradicate this tragedy and save lives.
How to get involved:
The easiest thing to do is support River International financially. Just one water bucket ($5.00 USD each) or one water filter ($50.00 USD each) can provide clean drinking water for a community of 500 people for ten years!
Purchase a water bucket for just $5.00.
Purchase a water filter for just $50.00.
Want to join us in the Amazon?
If you’re the more adventurous type, join us on a 7-day expedition down the Amazon. These expeditions are centered on 3 primary goals:
- Educate – the Brazilian public schools allow our teams to conduct assemblies to demonstrate the importance of clean drinking water to children. We educate them in preventative measures of sanitation and hygiene.
- Equip – you’ll join us in providing water filtration equipment to riverbank communities. the generous donations of our Buckets For Life partners allow us to provide this equipment. The result: every man, woman, and child has access to clean drinking water.
- Empower – as we meet the felt needs of these communities, you’ll have the chance to pray for others, share the Gospel, and minister with us in a number of evening services.
Our Amazon Expeditions are a truly transformative experience, both for you and the people you’ll meet. Interested? Email tom [at] riverintl.org and you’ll get all the details.
