Transforming Lives Through Clean Water Vision

Thousands of people are dying every day due to water-borne diseases and this is a crucial opportunity to continue saving more lives with your help.

Ghana 2023 distributionIn 2024 multiple RipplAffect Initiatives and Projects were run simultaneously, and the goal of $75,000 is set for 2024 so we can continue with the projects in 2025. The funds will be used to support existing projects along with starting a select number of possible new projects.  RipplAffect will continue responding to devastating events, such as hurricanes and other natural disasters.

The current projects will continue into 2025: in Ghana (1000 new filters helping 7,500 people), Kenya (500+ new filters), Pakistan  (1000 filtration systems) and the Philippines (1000 filtration systems), along with the a new possible Initiative in Nepal.  To achieve this, we also need to grow our base of monthly donors, ensuring organizational stability and continued impact. Projects are developed and supported independently or in collaboration with relief agencies and non-profit organizations, hospitals, colleges, conferences, unions or similar.

In March 2025, we are thrilled to once again partner with Spring Valley Academy on a mission trip to Maasai Mara, Kenya. Together, we will distribute over 500 life-saving water filtration systems, providing clean water to up to 5,000 people and continue the vital work we began in 2018 and 2022.

There is always also a significant need right here in the United States, such as after hurricanes and other natural disasters. The vision for RipplAffect is to make a difference close to home as well as around the world.

We’re proud of our ongoing collaborations with groups such as Project Propel, Kettering College, Spring Valley Academy, Kettering Health, ADRA, Heritage Fund and the Samburu Girls Foundation. We’re also honored to work with Sawyer Foundation, Mission Driven Purpose, NAPS (National Organization for the Prevention of Starvation), and in Pakistan, alongside Karachi Hospital, Pakistan Union, and Patras Bahadur – Director of the Global Center for Muslim Relations at the General Conference.

For 2025, we plan to distribute at least 3,500 additional filtration systems, reaching over 20,000 people, just as we are doing this year. With distributions in 2025 we will reach over 100,000 people with clean, safe drinking water!

Achieving this goal is only possible with your support, and we thank you for partnering with us in saving lives. Every donation, no matter the size, will directly contribute to safeguarding the health and future of these vulnerable communities. 100% of your tax-deductible donations will go toward water filter distribution projects. Please consider supporting life-changing initiatives and help us bring clean water to those who need it most.

The goal is to raise $75,000 by December 15. RipplAffect has received $23,000 in pledges/donations so far and with your help, there is no doubt this goal of remaining $52,000 can not only be reached but exceeded. Donations in the following amounts will allow RipplAffect to reach this goal:

  1. $10,000 x 1 donors
  2. $5,000 x 3 donors
  3. $2,500 x 6 donors
  4. $1,000 x 12 donors (or less)

Please be part of this life-changing effort by giving as your heart is moved. Any size gift will be valued and appreciated.  More importantly, your contribution will save lives.
