Clean Water Saves Lives (CWSL), a 501 C (3) nonprofit
foundation organized on December 20, 2004, and was approved on October 28, 2005, with an official start date of
April 1, 2005.
We
are dedicated to providing help with clean drinking water projects in areas of need by assisting with shallow water well
projects, sanitation training, driller training and donation of some drilling supplies.
The organization will rely on volunters, who wish to
donate time, equipment, and/or money to help save the lives, and improve living conditions of some of the 10 to 15 million
people who die yearly from unclean water.
Along
with donated and purchased water well drilling equipment, well decontamination supplies, and well sealing equipment, our
plans are to help provide very portable, shallow water well drilling machines, and make them available for use in
poor, remote areas, in need of clean water.
The 501C(3) nonprofit, charitable foundation can be reached at 1-800-906-3976, or

August 2005
Hurricane Katrina devastated Louisana, Mississippi,
and Alabama.
During a flood, individual
water wells often act as a drain, funneling pollution and disease into the drinking water aquifer. Many wells are still polluted.
Problems, and needs that we usually
think of happening only in foreign countries, are present now, here in America.
You can help!
*** Crisis 2004 ***
A Tsunami struck Southeast Asia on December 26th 2004, killing an estimated 150,000 men, women
, and children.
The USAID (The United
States Humanitarian Disaster Assistance Program) website states "Monetary donations are the most effective form of assistance
because they allow humanitarian organizations to purchase (often within the affected region itself) the exact type and quantity
of items needed by those affected by the crisis. Monetary donations therefore have several logistical advantages over commodity
contributions."
You may donate drilling equipment, water purification equipment
& supplies, or monetary assistance to CWSL.
