Mothers learn how to protect their families

By Tom Carter | Founder and Executive Director

12 years ago on a quiet Sunday morning I read a story about women in Africa who were cooking with a small solar reflector stove.  They were using the sun’s energy to prepare food for their families, but they could also could heat water enough to pasteurize it and make it safe to drink.  When I saw how simple and safe it was, I realized that pasteurizing water could save lives especially of young children around the world, and Agua Pura Para El Pueblo was born that morning.


Now 12 years and many projects later we are still working with you to save lives with the same simple methods with which we started.  We work throughout Latin America teaching how to accurately test water for contamination and how to make it safe.  We have distributed thousands of water pasteurization indicators (WAPIs) and other devices, and  have ongoing programs in several countries to manufacture and distribute more. One mother we spoke with said: “my children haven’t had diarrhea in four years!  God bless you!”  It’s gratifying to hear of yours and our success “una familia a la vez” - One family at a time.


We know that you have many interests and obligations, and we treasure the support you have shown us in the past. Can we ask you again help us continue our lifesaving work?  Can you make a donation this Christmas to help us reach even more families and children?   At Agua Pura we are all volunteers and 100% of each dollar you donate goes to provide a WAPI to a family. Thank you for any help you can give.

Sincerely,  Tom Carter

p.s.  You can read more about Agua Pura on our website Agua Pura Para El Pueblo.

p.p.s.  Would you like a WAPI for yourself to see how they work? Write me at tom@aguapuraparaelpueblo.org and I'll send you one.
