Facts About Our Clean Water Project

Facts about the people that need clean water….

This week, 42,000 people will die from diseases related to low quality drinking water. 90% of them will be children under the age 5. 80% of all sickness is attributable to unsafe water and sanitation. If you think this is unfair, you can help by donating your gently worn shoes to help save lives. You can help people that need water and you will become a hero for them. Donate and help get shoes and clean, safe water to those in need.
It is important to help because so many could die. If they don’t drink water they will die from dehydration. At the same time, they could die just because their water is dirty and has bacteria and germs in it. That is why we are helping to give the people water that is safe, clean, and healthy for them to drink.

Helping out is EASY

When you donate your gently worn shoes, Ozark Water Projects export them to distributors in South America, Haiti and Kenya. Shoe resale builds the local developing economy with micro businesses and affordable shoes for pennies on the dollar or barter. Affordable shoes are a life saving tool as they protect the new owner’s feet and overall health from foot abrasions, parasites, and mites.
Funds generated are used to purchase well-digging rigs, water purification systems, and other supplies to bring clean, fresh water to those in need.

Brochure Created By EAST @ Gardner What is EAST?
The EAST model of education features student-driven service projects accomplished with the latest in technology. EAST classrooms are equipped with state-of-the-art workstations, servers, software, and accessories, including GPS/GIS mapping tools, architectural and CAD design software, 3D animation suites, and much more. Students find problems in their local communities, and then use these tools to solve them. EAST’s focus, however, is not on technology itself, but on the unique learning environment of the EAST classroom. In EAST, students are responsible for creating their own lesson plans. There are no lectures and no tests; instead, the students are guided by an EAST facilitator (a teacher trained in the EAST process). This radically different approach to learning yields tremendous results. Students are better-prepared for their future, and they care more about learning and serving their communities.
