CANA [KAY-nuh]: A small village in Galilee where Jesus performed the miracle of turning water into wine at a wedding. The miraculous but simple gift allowed the community gathered to continue in celebration. We strive to expand our global community by providing clean water to those in need (John 2:1-11).

PhilippinesDue to climate change and their geographic location, the Philippines endure an average of 22 severe tropical storms each year. In November 2013, Super Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda affected 16 million people, displacing 4.1 million people. Although this super storm happened more than a year ago, many people still lack access to basic necessities. Wine To Water remains committed to providing sustainable water and hygiene solutions to displaced families. Our projects focus on water collection/filtration, safe water storage, and distributing hygiene kits. Your support is directly impacting the lives of many.

Cost: $100

Wine To Water

Cabernet Sauvignon This Cabernet leads with aromas of blackberry and notes of sandalwood. This fruit driven wine expresses raspberry, ripe cherries, and oak nuances in the mid palate. Always food friendly, this balanced wine is completed with a touch of cocoa, integrated tannins, and a long finish.

Amazon WellIn remote areas of Colombia, Peru, and Brazil, there are many jungle villages along the Amazon river where water-borne illnesses are a daily struggle for the local population. In order to reach these remote locations, your donations allow us to transport a compact drilling machine by canoe to wherever most needed. Well drilling is done on protected ground where clean water is safe from periodic river flooding. In addition to well drilling, your donations support rainwater catchment, water filtration, and sanitation initiatives, as well. These efforts greatly reduce the risk of waterborne illnesses for the local population and indigenous peoples of the region.

Haitian Ceramic FilterIn response to the 2010 earthquake, your donations helped Wine To Water establish a ceramic filter factory in Cyvadier, Haiti. The demand for clean drinking water remains urgent. Of the 10 million residents of Haiti, more than 7.3 million people lack access to clean drinking water and/or sanitation. Our experienced local staff produces and distributes filters throughout the country. Each filter is made with clay, sawdust, and nano-silver (antibacterial) particles. This high-quality ceramic filter provides 99.9% clean water for a household of five for up to five years.

In Honduras, 60% of the population lives in poverty with nearly 1 million people lacking access to clean drinking

water. Alongside our ground partners, we drill and repair wells in La Mosquitia, the most remote wilderness region

committees to ensure that each well remains functional.

East African Bio-Sand FilterBio-sand filters are household water systems that use a slow sand filtration process to remove harmful bacteria. They are locally made from concrete, gravel, and sand by our teams in five manufacturing centers throughout Uganda and Kenya. Each filter can provide up to 80 liters of clean water per day. We have provided clean water to more than 13,600 people using this technology.

Cost: $125

Ugandan Rainwater Harvest TankYour donations support schools and other community service centers with rainwater harvest tanks. Each 15,000 liter tank is built on site using specialized bricks made entirely of local materials. This green technology requires no firing or fuel, as opposed to traditionally made brick that contributes to the heavy deforestation of Africa. These tanks are stronger, longer lasting, and one third the price of standard imported plastic tanks, proving to be a sustainable clean water solution in Africa.

people who live without access to clean drinking water. Our experienced local team can drill up to 650 feet

Cambodia WellDiarrhea, a common water-borne illness, is the leading killer of

children under five in Cambodia. Our ground partners use locally made drill rigs to build community wells. Included in the

cost of each well, hygiene education and latrines are also provided to further combat poor sanitation. Access to clean

water not only reduces sickness and improves health, it enables families to raise livestock and grow crops.

Cost: $600
