As the relief and development ministry of Cru Global Aid Network® (GAiN®) expresses the love of Jesus Christ in the toughest places on earth by relieving human suffering and restoring dignity. GAiN accomplishes their mission through funding, facilitating, and carrying out relief and development projects through trusted partners worldwide who are committed to spiritual multiplication. THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS Diseases from unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation kill more people each year than all forms of violence, including war.* Nearly one in five deaths are caused by diarrhea, that’s more than malaria, AIDS, and measles combined.* *sources from UNDP, WHO, UNICEF For children under age five, waterrelated diseases are the leading cause of death.* THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS Lack of access to clean water and sanitation kills children at a rate equivalent of a jumbo jet crashing every four hours.* No intervention has greater overall impact upon national development and public health than safe drinking water and the proper disposal of human waste. A few years ago a child died every 15 seconds from drinking contaminated water, now it’s every 21 seconds. While we celebrate the accomplishment, we still have work to do. WHAT GAiN DOES WHAT GAiN DOES WHERE WE WORK THE SOLUTION WATER FILTERS One filter can supply clean water for up to 20 people for 5-10 years. They filter approximately 5 gallons of water in under 20 minutes. EDUCATION Education is used to train our incountry partners how to use health and hygiene training as a tool to build disciples.
