D-1443    Belize - Belize River Valley Belize Water Project $25,000 Most of the drinking water in Belize is polluted and children are dying from water borne deseases. We feel that we can help solve this problem by supplying a simple in house water filter system costing $50.00 each. These high quality filters provide safe water to a family (average of 8 per household) for approximately two years. It is estimated that 80% of all infectious diseases are water borne, and providing safe drinking water will lead to better health.
