We are making an impact! FFCC continues to change lives through clean water with the installation of over 150 water filters in Haiti and Tanzania. And, we're just getting started! We're working with the village of Nkungi, Tanzania to have a filter installed in every home in the village - about 1,200 in all - by the end of 2012.  Results, you ask? Many! For example, the cholera epidemic was virtually eliminated in our "adopted" tent city of Aviation, Haiti last spring after our team installed over 40 water filters in stations throughout the tent city.

Now, we've teamed up with technology to allow you to locate the filters you've donated, once installed, and see the families you are helping!  Check out our new web experience, which will transport you through Google Earth to the site of your filter installation, providing a picture and brief bio of the family (or families!) you are helping.  Please click here to check it out and let us know if you have any technical difficulties, as we are continuing to develop and update this "tour".

Each filter is installed by an FFCC team of volunteers on trips to Haiti and Tanzania. The installation process involves several steps and begins with an interview with each family to gather demographic information. After the interview, the family is taught how to use, clean and care for their water filter.  Then, perhaps most importantly, the family demonstrates to the installation team their proficiency with the newly installed filter by filtering a bucket of water and cleaning the filter.  Once that's been done, we know we've left the filter in good hands!

FFCC also performs follow-up visits after installation to ensure the family continues to use the filter properly and that it remains trouble free.  When properly cleaned, cared for and maintained, each filter should last for years to come.  

Please consider donating one or more filters ($75 each) and/or joining FFCC on a trip overseas to be part of a filter installation team.  To date, we have raised over $18,750 for water filters. We need your support to continue making an impact. For more information about Impact H2O, please contact Pam at dlordr@cox.net.
