The Power of Clean Water

posted by Dillon Burroughs

Over 800 million people lack access to clean water. Living Water International‘s goal is to transform this horrific statistic through clean water wells in the developing world.

In November 2011, my first devotional book Thirst No More was published to help create awareness and provide financial support for Living Water’s efforts. You can help, too. The first step is awareness, or simply learning more about the issue. The video below is a great first four minutes to inspire your day and begin your personal quest to help bring clean water to those in need.
