Bring Clean Water to Native Communities with Watergen

It goes without saying that water is essential to all living things for survival, but it is also sacred to Native people. And yet, access to clean drinking water has been a challenge Native Communities across the US have faced for several decades. A November 2018 report conducted by the US Water Alliance and nonprofit DigDeep concluded that Native American households were nearly 20 times more likely to lack indoor plumbing than white households — 3 per 1,000 for white households vs. 58 per 1,000 for Native American households. Lack of sustainable, clean drinking water has drastic implications for public health.

The good news: The technology to help overcome this life-threatening problem already exists, and with your support, we can get it into the hands of people who need it most.

In the spirit of “Akapamata,” Native American hero Jim Thorpe’s nickname meaning “caregiver,” we believe that if you have the opportunity to help someone, you do it. With that, our partner Watergen and Native American-owned distribution company 4D Products & Services, LLC have presented us with the chance to bring four of their innovative GEN-M machines (valued at $100,000 each) to Native communities in need, to provide clean drinking water for up to 1,000 people a day.

Here’s where you come in: for every $1 donated, Watergen and 4D will match that donation until we reach our goal of $400K. And, in appreciation and thanks, you’ll earn 100 “Heartbeats” for your donation, which can be converted into exclusive rewards and experiences from Bright Path Strong that you won’t want to miss!

Providing clean water to Native communities through generators will by no means end the fight for water access, but it will give people in need the additional support to keep pushing for the equal access they deserve.
