In 2019, GFA gave out more than 12,000 BioSand
water filters to needy families in Asia.
That is so exciting.
These filters are really simple, it’s a
concrete box filled with sand, gravel and
rocks, and that actually is able to filter
out—without electricity—98 percent of
impurities in dirty water.
So these are amazing for families that maybe
have water,
but it’s just not clean enough to drink.
Water was a painful part of Sabeena’s life.
She would just go to this pond where pigs
would bathe,
and she would gather her water
there and bring it back.
Her children were still getting sick.
But one day she was visiting a friend who
was a Christian,
and this friend had a BioSand water filter in her home.
So Sabeena asked, “Where did you get that?”
“Can I get one too?”
And the pastor found out about that,
and he arranged for Sabeena to get one of these filters.
And when the team came to install it in her home,
when they were talking with her,
they prayed for her and her family.
And God answered their prayers.
They were being healed from the illnesses they had because of the dirty water.
Since we started doing these water filters,
GFA has been able to give out more than 73,000 of them.
It’s amazing to think about how much of
an impact
one water filter can have on one family;
the health they have, the dignity
they have, because of this clean water.
I’m just so thankful for people like you
who make it possible for GFA
to give this clean water to people in need.
