Proctor and Gamble Company has developed a water
purification process that is just amazing.
According to P&G, ““More children die from dirty
drinking water than HIV-AIDS or malaria.”
If you view any news or videos on the people of the third
world, you’ll see them drinking water out of waterways that are stagnant and
filled with death-producing bacteria. Animals urinate and defecate and bathe in
this water. People walk for miles to get this filth-laden water, only to bring
it back and serve up disease to their beloved children.
P&G worked with the Center For Disease Control to
develop a purification powder that when place in 2½ gallons of water,
chlorinates the water and kills any living thing in it. They partnered with the
global relief organization World Vision to take it to the countries that need
it.
Recently a fundraising event was developed to get funding to
place the treatment packs all over the world where needed. Flash Flood For Good
has reached almost a half billion people with the message about the water
crisis in the world. They are still taking donations and just $10.00US will provide
clean water for a year for one child.
According to World Vision, 2000 children die each DAY from
drinking contaminated water. Help if you can by going here: https://www.flashfloodforgood.org/
