Yesterday, Water to Thrive went to Brenham, Texas to present at a Lions Club meeting…but we did a little research beforehand.

Did you know that 153 MILLION people have uncorrected vision impairments?  The Lions Club is aware of this issue, and they collect thousands of eyeglasses every year to provide VISION to people all over the world.

During yesterday’s presentation to the Lions, W2T mentioned the negative impact dirty, unsafe water sources have on communities in East Africa, especially in Ethiopia.  One major thing people suffer from by using dirty water?

River Blindness. 

Providing a clean water well in Ethiopia is a wonderful, long-term solution to PREVENT River Blindness.
