Water for Peru, November 2019
RipplAffect was raising funds for Water Filtration Systems in Peru in collaboration with Spring Valley Academy.
Clean Water for Peru Benefit Concert – Spring Valley Academy in Collaboration with RipplAffect organized a benefit concert on Sunday, Nov. 24th 2019 in the SVA Chapel. The concert featured the talent of Spring Valley Academy students and guest performers songwriter Laura Whidden-Wetterlin and amazing Jeremy Winston Choral. Money for 300+ Water Filtration systems at $25 per piece was raised at the fundraising event, but SVA High school students were not able to hand-deliver these filters to people of Peru because of the pandemic.
Hurricane-affected Bahamas, September 2019
Thank you for helping us raise money for water filters after the devastation of Hurricane Dorian in Bahamas. Donations for this project are now closed.

Yemen, March 2019
Saving Children In Yemen from Cholera with Clean Water
In January 2019 we reached our ultimate goal of $13,000, which made it possible for us to procure and deploy 700 cutting-edge Sawyer Water Filtration Systems in Yemen (plus, the cost of shipping and logistics involved in getting the product thousands of miles away to Yemen!). The deployment and distribution of the filtration systems will amount to tens of millions of litters of clean drinking water over the life of the filtration systems, which will in turn literally save scores of children’s lives from cholera, and improve the health and well-being of their families and communities. Up to 4000 people will benefit from this initative. We are proud that RipplAffect was the first organization to deploy this type of water filtration systems into Yemen; a country which has been ravaged by war and armed violence for many months and which is considered the most devastating complex humanitarian crisis in the world, surpassing even that in Syria.
What a joy to see our dream of saving children come to life!
Sawa Project in Yemen – RipplAffect in collaboration with LDC Charities and our implementing partner, ADRA, providing Water Filtration Systems along with Hygiene kits to people of Yemen
