Charleston-based Water Missions International is accepting donations and volunteers who wish to help in the aftermath of Hurricane Felix. The organization provides clean water filtration systems to poverty-stricken villages throughout the world, and are instrumental in disaster relief. After responding to both the recent earthquake in Peru and Hurricane Dean in Mexico, their volunteer staff is stretched thin.
They need help at their West Ashley headquarters setting up water treatment systems and providing logistical support. With more storms likely this season, it’s a worthwhile way to make a difference close to home. We take clean drinking water for granted, but in a Third World disaster zone, water access can mean the difference between survival and perishing.
Contact Danya at djordan@watermissions.org to give a donation for supplies, or Christie at volunteers@watermissions.org and 843.769.7395, ext. 207 to volunteer.
