Impact Statement from Nonprofit
The best way to protect children from
waterborne disease is to prevent them from getting it in the first place.
Thirst-Aid’s primary focus is the
prevention of waterborne illnesses that result in diarrheal morbidity and
death, particularly among children under five. Thirst-Aid promotes education
and knowledge as the principal tools for safe water intervention, inspiring the
drive for improved water quality to come from within communities prior to the
introduction of household water treatment technologies. Thirst-Aid aims to make knowledge of household water treatment and proper hygiene as common as how to cook rice or fry an egg.
Thirst-Aid bases this approach on the
assumption that educated people do not willingly drink contaminated water –
much less give it to their children.

CEO/Executive Director Statement:
Thirst-Aid Myanmar
is doing, great! There are now 8 independently owned factories that employ
150 or so people and have produced over 113,000 water filters benefiting a
population of about 715,000 people. Our education team has trained over 350
health educators and we’ve convinced many organizations to adopt our education
as currency model which is showing resounding success. In 2010 Thirst-Aid introduced a new water cart that will provide traditional water vendors a means to deliver clean water to Myanmar homes.
