Gospel for Asia’s Jesus Wells are bringing clean water to thousands of remote villages in Asia’s arid hotspots. |
GFA (www.gfa.org) — a leading provider of clean water in Asia’s most thirsty hotspots — has helped drill thousands of wells and supply tens of thousands of household BioSand water filters in Asia where water shortages are most critical.
World Water Day highlights the vital importance of access to clean drinking water as a basic human right — this year under the theme “leaving no one behind.”
“Absolutely no one should be left behind when it comes to the most basic need of life — not just`water, but clean drinking`water,” said GFA founder Dr. KP Yohannan.
“Our goal is to provide a long-term, solution in the`water-starved villages and communities we serve, giving everyone access to fresh`water and providing the training they need to keep their new well pumping clean water for decades to come.”
In some areas of Asia during the long dry season, villagers wait more than six months for rain, helplessly watching rivers and watering holes dry up. Often the only water`source — a dirty pond — spawns illnesses such as typhoid and chronic diarrhea that threaten children’s lives.
The answer is under the ground, tapping fresh water reserves deep below the surface — and GFA provided a unique solution with “Jesus Wells.”
