• Community Water Systems

  In areas like Honduras, you make it possible to capture spring water, building water storage tanks and pipe networks that bring clean drinking water right into the homes of poor villagers. In places like Mexico, OB provides rainwater harvesting systems as well as chlorination to ensure water is safe to drink. This transforms the lives of people who previously suffered from water crises and had to get their water from dirty ponds and streams.

• Chlorination

  Your generosity allows Operation Blessing to use a variety of chlorine generators to produce chlorine using just common salt and water. This chlorine can be used to disinfect water for needy communities and in times of disaster. This chlorine also provides disinfection for hospitals in Africa and Latin America.

• Water Filtration

  You are helping provide water filtration units to families and villages where the water just needs to be filtered in order to be safe or as a temporary solution while water systems are being built and in times of disaster.

• Water Wells

  In places like Asia and Africa, your love and kindness allow Operation Blessing to install wells that supply clean water to whole villages.

• Drilling Water Wells

  You are helping dig deep, solar-powered water wells in places like Kenya, where the abundant sun and frequent droughts create a water shortage. In many communities, young girls no longer have to sacrifice their education to carry water—thanks to you! These wells not only shorten the distance to clean water, but also free up time so they can attend school.

• Desalination

  After Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, your faithful support and a partnership with Parker Hannifin, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of water processing equipment, allowed Operation Blessing to test and develop water desalination systems. This provided safe drinking water to survivors surrounded by saltwater.

• Water Crisis Solutions

  OB works with communities to determine the clean water project that will provide the best outcome based on their needs and available resources. This could mean a water well, catchment system, chlorination device or a pipe network to bring clean water into every home.

• Rain Catchment Systems

  In remote and isolated regions without access to reliable water sources, rainwater is often the best solution, if it rains enough. Operation Blessing can provide individual water catchment systems for each family in need in communities without clean water. These systems can include gutters for collecting the water, leaf filters, water storage tanks, chlorine dispensers and water purifiers, and faucets. These systems provide an elegant solution for providing clean water directly to homes and schools in communities without other water sources. 

• Impact of Clean Water

  You are giving families, villages and communities access to clean drinking water, which helps reduce water-borne illness, improve their quality of life and provide better economic and educational opportunities.
