Pure Water - Help Provide Clean Drinking Water to Nepal

The devastating earthquakes to hit Nepal killed over 7,000 people and destroyed thousands of homes and wiped out entire villages. The very basic essentials such as fresh clean water, electricity, food and shelter are in great need.

The Pure Water Movement is planning a trip to Nepal to help provide clean drinking water for residents of a village. With a minimum donation of $25 you will be helping us provide clean water to a village in Nepal. With a tax deductible donation of $75, you will also receive one of the Puritii Water Bottles so you too will always have fresh clean drinking water.
