A Message from Jim Bodenner

Director of Water Initiatives and a fellow Rotarian

Jim BodennerGreetings fellow Rotarians,
Life depends on water. Health depends on safe water. Over three billion people lack access to safe water. Without safe water preventable poverty, disease and death occur daily on an epidemic scale. The HydrAid™ BioSand Water Filter is proven technology that effectively removes 100% of parasites and up to 95% of bacteria and viruses. It reduces the leading causes of death and disease in the developing world. We need your help to deliver this effective technology to those who are suffering from unsafe water. $25,000 sends 300 HydrAid™ filters plus installation, equipment, sand and training materials overseas to developing countries. Those 300 filters will safe-guard 3,000 lives for a decade or more.
