It's Not Just About Us - Purisoft, Water with a Cause
As the owners of Purisoft Water Solutions we feel a responsibility to help provide for our global family, to help the poor and needy that have no access to clean, life-giving water. We have carefully chosen a water charity to support with a portion of our business profits.
Living Water International helps provide much needed clean water to people all over the world. They implement participatory, community-based water solutions in developing countries. Since LWI started, they’ve completed more than 10,000 water projects for communities in 26 countries. Their training programs in shallow well drilling, pump repair, and hygiene education have equipped thousands of volunteers and professionals in the basics of integrated water solutions since 1997.

A child dies every 15 seconds because of the lack of clean water. It costs Living Water International an average of just $.98 to provide clean, safe water to one person for one year. It’s hard for those of us who have so much to believe it would cost so little to make such a Big difference. Most of us spend twice that every morning for a cup of coffee! When you purchase from our company you are helping us to help others.
Even if you choose not to purchase from our company, we encourage you to check out Living Water International and consider helping them provide life-giving water to those in desperate need.
Water is essential for all dimensions of life. Over the past few decades, use of water has increased, and in many places water availability is falling to crisis levels. More than eighty countries, with forty percent of the world’s population, are already facing water shortages, while by year 2020 the world’s population will double. Over one billion people lack safe water, eighty per cent of infectious diseases are waterborne, killing millions of children each year.
