CLEAN WATER = A LIFE-SAVING GIFT
Did you know that you might be helping to build clean water wells around the world? Clean water is a cause as dear as life itself, and you may already be participating in providing this life-saving gift.
Millions of people worldwide live in abject poverty without access to clean water, sanitation, or healthcare. Water-related illness and diseases flourish where clean water is not available. In some countries, children do not survive infancy simply due to water-borne disease. Young children are unable to attend school because their entire day, every day, is taken up walking miles to get water for their family. Adolescents die early, again due to filthy water consumption. Adults die early for the same reason. Dirty water is an abomination that can be rectified.
Those facts, and the realization that we could help fix this worldwide problem, led Practicon to decide several years ago to contribute a portion of our SmileGoods toothbrush sales to World Help. World Help is an international charitable organization that, with the help of local people, builds and operates orphanages, schools, healthcare facilities, small businesses, houses of worship, and so on. None of these undertakings would succeed, however, without clean water for the local citizens who participate in and benefit from World Help programs. And so, in addition to other charitable work, World Help builds clean water wells all over the globe.
To date, Practicon has contributed just over $200,000 to fund 12 wells in communities around the world. The latest well is in a small village in Zimbabwe, where it has been pumping clean water since June 2017.
If you buy SmileGoods Toothbrushes, you have contributed to these wells; you have given life to villagers who formerly drank, cooked with, and bathed in filthy, putrid water. I do not use online postings to ask you to consider buying a Practicon product; however, SmileGoods toothbrushes are the exception to that rule. Buy these top quality brushes for two reasons: first, to help with the life-saving work of constructing clean water wells where they are desperately needed; and, second, save hundreds of dollars annually by buying SmileGoods toothbrushes at a fraction of the price you may now be paying.
Remember, you can follow your progress in helping to build clean water wells at practicon.com/causelife. Well #13 is under construction now.
THANK YOU!
