Living Water

884 million people in the world don’t have access to safe drinking water. That’s a pretty big problem. Sometimes it’s easy to feel discouraged. Whatever we can give isn’t enough–10 or 20 dollars is just a tiny drop in the bucket.

Now, all those drops are having a huge impact. Living Water International has partnered with HopeMongers (www.hopemongers.org), a micro-giving community that empowers anyone with $10 to make a lasting difference in the lives of the world’s poor. As a founding partner of HopeMongers, LWI is able to connect the micro-giving community with specific water projects serving thirsty people around the globe.

“It’s very exciting for us to partner with HopeMongers in order to impact the world’s poor. This partnership will help communities of people around the world give together towards clean water projects in ways they have never given before,” said LWI’s Jerry Wiles.

On hopemongers.org, you can connect to clean water projects by clicking on “Find Projects” and “Safe Water.” Once you find a project you’re interested in, you can contribute as little as $10 toward that project. Because of HopeMongers’ broad-based volunteer network, they are able to pass administrative savings directly to donors by charging nothing for the micro-giving services. That means 100% of project gifts are passed directly to partners responsible for the work.

Special community “Cooperatives” on hopemongers.org are designed so that people can share their passion for clean water with other like-minded individuals all around the world. And because HopeMongers is connected to social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, you can easily share your involvement in clean water projects and invite others to join with you. Together, all those tiny little drops can make a lasting difference in the lives of thirsty people around the world.
