Provide Life-Giving Water for Burmese Refugees!

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Did you know that every 3.6 seconds a human life is lost to water-related disease?  That’s more than 5 million deaths every year as a result of dirty water.  Unclean water leads to parasites, dysentery, under-nutrition, diarrheal diseases, and pneumonia.  Please join us in making a difference in the lives of others…join us in saving the lives of men, women, and children this Christmas by providing clean water.

The number of Burmese refugees continues to grow because of Burma’s ongoing human rights abuses and desperate economic conditions.   Over 450,000 people are internally displaced in eastern Burma while up to 1.5 million Burmese are living in hardship as economic migrants across Thailand.

Give the gift of clean water!

The cost to provide clean water to a Burmese refugee for an entire year is only 35 cents!  A single filtration system can provide clean water for 800 people for 20 years!  Would you consider a donation of $20 and give a gift of life-giving water this Christmas?  Your tax-deductible contribution of $20 will provide clean water for 12 Burmese refugees for 10 years! 

In keeping with the spirit of giving, you will receive a complimentary $10 gift certificate to Sam & Louie’s for each donation of $20 or more!!

Donations will be collected from now until Dec. 24th.  Please email me at Jennifer@OmahaCoupons.com for more information.
