"Life’s persistent and most urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'' -Martin Luther King Jr.

Sometimes the concept of "people on the otherside

Sometimes the concept of "people on the otherside of the world that need water" seems so far away or so broad that it just a concept not a reality.

We want to show you exactly WHO you are bringing water too...

These sweet boys and their village in the north of #malawi are benefitting from your generosity. Their well supports over 1500 families, thats over 5000 people...people who where walking over an hour to stand in line for hours to get one bucket of contaminated water. Your donations are not only giving them clean water, but their time, the ability to grow crops🌱 to feed their families, better hygiene🧼, and their TIME.

We need your help. Please consider partnering with us monthly or for a single donation. Every single dollar SAVES💦

The smiles of people WHO KNOW they can now get clean water anytime they need it. Not muddy water, not contaminated water, not waiting in lines for hours to fill a bucket with a trickle of water...not walking hours for one bucket. They have CLEAN WATER NEARBY❤💦🥳

Thank you!

We must keep going. The need for water is overwhelming and we can't do it without your help. Help by donating, sharing our posts, talking to people about group donations...every single dollar, share, and conversation helps.

We have a family tradition to bring sweets to the local kids and adults whenever we are traveling. After talking and learning about how #cleanwater has changed this communities thousands of lives...it was "sweets" time.

Nothing sweeter then being rush by a ton of excited children🥰💦

A Poem For Water Do you get your water from a tap

A Poem For Water

Do you get your water from a tap?🚰
Wheres your water on the map?🗺
Is your water clean when it comes out?🧼
Does your water sputter out the spout? 🐳
Do you have to sweat to get a drop? 💦
Is your water carried on the top?🍶
Do you ever fear that waters near?🤯
Thats not always the case I hear...
Is there something more that you can do? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Help us bring clean water soon!

How do we know where there is a need? Our partner

How do we know where there is a need?

Our partners @teenmissions have base/bases in 25 different countries around the world. Each base supports multiple "units" scattered around the country. In #Malawi specifically there are 3 bases and mulitple units supported by those bases. Each unit serves a different purpose, some are units for girls to live closer to school so they don't have to walk hours with the possibility of assault...and so they can actually attend school.

Some are orphan units, to support the orphan population in multiple communities, by giving them education, food, water, and access to simple medications they would not have access too otherwise.

Some are Sunday school units, with bike riders, who visit different villages every day to teach and assess the needs of the communities and support them with meds, education, and fundraising for wells.

The stack of well requests from these communities in Malawi alone is inches thick. The need is overwhelming, but with your help we can continue to bring fresh💦 to those who are in dyer need.

Thank you for your support

To see it, the walking distance, what has to be do

To see it, the walking distance, what has to be done to clean the water for drinking, how many trips that must be taken daily.....pre borehole (well)...

Clean water is life, a new kind of life for people who have lived without it. Its health, its time, is growing crops to eat, to sell...its be able to LIVE and not just survive.

The day I (Melody, Nathan's sister) got to put my

The day I (Melody, Nathan's sister) got to put my hands in the fresh water Nathan's life help bring was such a powerful day. Explaining it to people, how we wanted to give life in honor of his life, was a moment I'm still working on putting into words...
but it was powerful.

The shortness of life is overwhelmingly apparent when you loose someone. There is so much good to do, so many people to help. For me, when I go, the regret will not be how I wished I saved more money...but more the question of DID I use my time and my $$ to help everyone I could, and did I spend as much time as a possibly could with the ones I love.

Speaking with the local people and chiefs where Nathan's wells are, seeing the good the wells have done, but also meeting chiefs who traveled from even further in the bush to come beg for water for their people......
Is giving me drive, purpose in the pain, humbling me, and pushing me to want to do more...

WE CANNOT DO IT WITHOUT YOUR HELP.

EVER DOLLAR DONATED GOES TO CLEAN WATER.

Years ago BBC stated, that woman where more likely

Years ago BBC stated, that woman where more likely to be raped in South Africa then to learn to read.

Unfortunately, the statistics for assault in Africa as a whole are incredibly high. According to a study sited in AllAfrica.com 82% of womens assault cases in their study, happened while doing normal daily activities like walking to get water.

Our partners, @teenmissions have so many forms of out reach all all around #Africa . One type are girls homes, matron units. The matron units are located near schools, so that the girls don't have to walk far to go to school. Its a safe place, where they can be sure to get an education to help themselves, their families, and communities.

Two of Nathan's wells live in matron units, giving girls the water they need to stay close to the unit, for health, for hygiene, for gardening to eat...the list goes on..

When you donate, you give live...
Health life, but also a future life...
You give the ability to go to school for girls, who do most of the water collecting and miss it otherwise if water is far away.

Water is everything.

Please continue to donate so we can continue to help bring 💦 to the 🌍

It's hard to really understand what its like to live without water.

This 💦 saves lives, saved this woman's life, saved the lived of the people in hers and surrounding villages.

These are the people you are helping when you donate! 💦💦💦❤

Mr. Precious from House of Peace Orphan Unit describes what the water situation was like before they received their well from the #NathansPassionProject donors.

WATER WATER WATER💦💦💦

Welcome to the House of Peace orphan unit in Dowa,

Welcome to the House of Peace orphan unit in Dowa, Malawi.

Traditional orphanages can be expensive and often remove children from extended family. House of Peace Unit is a safe place where the children in the program can come for many different types of care.

These sweet babies, come for education, food, supplies, malaria tests and medication, and so much more. Now the unit has its own well, that supports many villages with CLEAN water. Before this well, hundreds of people would stand in line at this tiny trickling stream waiting their turn to fill their bucket with contaminated water.

Now THEY HAVE WATER 💦

Its amazing how in death there can be such a gift

Its amazing how in death there can be such a gift of life.

Now the ladies of Sonrise Matron Unit have water for drinking, cooking, bathing, growing crops..because you chose to give, and keep giving. Not only in honor of Nathan, but you have chosen to give, and keep giving in honor of the loved ones that you have lost.

You have chosen life in the midst of death, and there is nothing more inspiring.

“Thousands have lived without love, not one without water.” — W. H. Auden

As the ladies of the Sonrise matron unit in #Malawi take a moment to drink and freshen up, the run off of access water from the borehole goes straight into the garden. Keeping their plants alive during the dry season, allowing them to grow the food they are going to eat!
Water is life

This is Seth, the @TeenMissionMalawi coordinator,

This is Seth, the @TeenMissionMalawi coordinator, he is the "on the ground" orcastrator of our well project in Malawi.

Today he is showing you where they where previously trying to drill water at the Sunrise Matron Unit. There are 42 girls who live at this unit, #Teenmissions with its staff and volunteers (US & Local) built this unit for girls so they will not have to walk hours from their homes daily to school. This unit keeps them safe from assault, and ensures they will be able to attend school.

Prior to drilling the well, even though they are closer to school, still had to walk about 50 minutes each way for water walking back, carrying heavy water buckets on theirs heads. If you spill it, you walked back...
If you didn't get enough, you walked back...
If you couldn't carry enough, you walked back...
That bucket was for cooking, cleaning, drinking, washing clothes...everything for your day. 50 minutes each way.

YOU ARE AND CAN CONTINUTALLY CHANGE PEOPLES LIVES.

Continuing to partner with us will help us bring more water to people who so desperately need it. Support is financial, but also by sharing this post you will be helping us spread the word.

Thank you so much for your continued support.
