Clean Water Projects
While many people in the developed world take clean drinking water for granted, an estimated 780 million people don’t have access to clean drinking water and 2.5 billion people do not have safe sanitation. The majority of clean water issues are in rural areas of developing nations, and the result is a startling number of hygiene-related diseases and deaths.
At Cross Catholic Outreach, we understand how clean and accessible water impacts a family’s health, efficiency, education, and economic progress. That’s why we are engaged in numerous projects that deliver safe water to poor communities for drinking, bathing, cleaning, and agriculture. Water is a gift from God, and with your help, we can deliver this life-saving gift to where it’s needed most.

WATER FOR THE POOR
Donate to help transform lives
Every 15 seconds a child in a developing country dies of cholera or some other waterborne disease. The cause? Contaminated water from tainted sources — polluted rivers, improperly dug wells or open cisterns teeming with bacteria.
When a village does not have a well, women and children must walk for miles each day with large plastic buckets to collect water from the closest source. With your contribution we can provide life-saving water systems to needy villages around the world. Your gift can save children from death caused by water-related illnesses.

Financial Accountability
At Cross Catholic, we meticulously honor the intent of our donors. All proceeds are restricted for the specific project for which they are raised. In that rare event that more funds are received than are required for a specific project, the additional funds will be used to meet the most urgent needs.
Proceeds from this campaign will be used to cover any expenditures incurred through June 30, 2023, the close of our ministry’s fiscal year. In the event that more funds are raised than needed to fully fund the project, the excess funds, if any, will be used to meet the most urgent needs of the ministry.
