The objective of this small project, A FILTER FOR LIFE is modest but vital.

Contaminated and brackish water compromises the health of tens of thousands of the poorest people who have no other choice but to drink this water.

Every day, children and adults - who suffer from stomach pain to have drunk this brackish and contaminated water - must be treated in the hospital.

So kidney diseases are in increase, especially among the children. A FILTER FOR LIFE is a project initiated by the will of the inhabitants of the north of Gaza. It seeks to offer to the families of Gaza that live in the neighbourhoods where the water is dirty and polluted, an individual filter that purifies and desalinates tap water.

The first beneficiaries: the poorest families, who because they lack the means to buy bottled water, must drink water that is salty and highly polluted.

PS: Any association interested in collaborating with this small project can contact this site. It will be put in touch with the initiators of this project in Gaza. We think that any help able to protect from a slow death the most vulnerable people, that of the children in priority, is important. Reason why we choosed to make known this project.
