Haryana Villagers Get Pure Water Instantly

Believers Church Haryana distributed 20 free BioSand water filters from 27th-31st March 2009. One filter went to a local school, while the rest went to a local village.

Many people in the area are migrated laborers. The village where the distribution took place did not have access to clean drinking water as the water supply is contaminated with soil and sand. People really struggled since they could not afford electric water filters.

When people gathered water in vessels, they would wait for an hour or two until the water calmed down and the sand settled on the bottom. Due to unclean water, children and parents suffered from stomachache, diarrhea and digestive disorders.

When people from this background received BioSand water filters from Believers Church, huge smiles filled their faces. Recipients were thankful to God and the church for improving their community. Now they filter their drinking water daily.

“I am greatly blessed with this filter,” said a house owner named Kailash Choudhary, “because many of my tenants were requesting me to provide a filter. The water they get is mixed with soil so it cannot be drunk unfiltered. I am glad that this filter doesn’t cost me anything nor need any electric power, rather is convenient.”

Tai Jee, another filter recipient, said, “It has helped my family a lot and has made our life easier and comfortable. Earlier we had to wait for quite a long time to get pure water until the sand sat on the bottom of the container. But now right after getting water the family can filter and use it. I am so much thankful to the church for having such a concern for the betterment of our community.”

The filtered water tastes much better than the old water and will improve the health of the local people. Believers Church has distributed thousands of BioSand water filters throughout South Asia free of cost.
