Safe Water Curriculum Lesson Package

Opening the eyes of Canadian students to the work of Samaritan’s Purse around the world.

Water filter provides safe water for families

These concrete filters use layers of sand and gravel to remove harmful microorganisms and pollutants from water gathered in streams, lakes, or ponds. Users take the murky liquid and transform it into clean drinking water.

Water Projects

842,000 people are dying each year from diarrheal diseases caused by dirty water and poor sanitation and hygiene. That means a death every 37.5 seconds. Most are children in developing countries. Samaritan’s Purse works around the world to provide safe water and promote safe hygiene practices in homes, schools, and communities. Each $150 will provide a family with a life-saving BioSand Filter that transforms dirty water into safe water in seconds. For $10,000, your family, church, or school can provide a large-scale Samaritan Filter that will serve an entire community. As a result, families can be healthy, students can learn effectively, and villages can overcome one of their biggest challenges.
