  1. Bringing Safe Water to a Thirsty World. “Water washes everything, but it is not easy to wash water.” – African Proverb

  2. the problem

  3. More than a billion people do not have access to safe water.

  4. Contaminated water is the #1 CAUSE OF DEATH in developing countries.

  5. On average, every 8 seconds a child dies of a waterborne disease.

  6. Wells are often contaminated by seeping surface water and pit latrines.

  7. Midway through the rainy season, the water table often rises into the pit latrine zones contaminating wells.

  8. Without a sanitation program, all kinds of waste enters the water supplies.

  9. Bottled water is too expensive for the poor.

  10. the solution

  11. Chlorination! Chlorination has protected the United States and other countries for over 90 years and has saved more lives than perhaps any other technology!

  12. How do you bring this life-saving technology to those people who need safe water the most? The New Life International Water Purifier: Provides simple on-site chlorination from salt.

  13. How it Works: 1. Generates Chlorine by an electrolysis process. 2. Separates the salt (NaCl) into its components Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl). 3. Sorts the sodium ions from the chloride ions using the 12 VDC charge from a car battery or other source of direct current.

  14. 24 Hour Bacteria Test Water from an African city Water treated with the New Life Purifier Even city water may be unsafe (the yellow color on the right is from a chemical used in the test.)

  15. Capabilities: Designed and constructed for use in third world environments with harsh conditions and minimal resources. Engineered to be robust, user friendly, easily transported and cost effective!

  16. Capabilities: • Generates chlorine from water, table salt, and a 12-volt battery • A pound of salt disinfects 70,000 gallons of water. • Treats 55 gallons of water per minute • Operational in a short time upon arrival at the site. • One water purifier per 1,000 people. • Easy to use. Training material is included.

  17. Independent Laboratory Testing of the New Life International Water Purifier: “The device produces chlorinated water at a rate that is more than sufficient to destroy, with proper contact time (as instructed in the manual), illness-causing microorganisms in the water.” 17 November 2005 Pentair Inc. Water Report

  18. what we do

  19. Training: Training nationals in the use and maintenance of the purifier is vital to long-term success.

  20. Disaster Relief After a natural disaster, a lack of safe water can become just as dangerous as the disaster itself. The New Life International Water Purifier can provide safe, affordable, and sustainable water solutions for drinking and other essential purposes.

  21. A Report from Uganda One of the water committee members is also the local health worker responsible for a number of settlements in the islands. Her report was that prior to the installation of safe drinking water in Lingira, 90% of all families suffered from diarrhea during the rainy season. Since the system has been in use, she hardly sees diarrhea-related illnesses.

  22. New Life International seeks to bring safe water to all people everywhere – from the largest cities to the smallest villages.

  23. The New Life International Water Purifier is highly adaptable. It can become part of a permanent water treatment system or be transported from place to place depending upon the need and facilities available.

  24. Safe water is a desperate need in all areas of developing countries. The New Life International Water Purifier can bring safe water to villages, medical clinics, hospitals, schools, churches, orphanages, disaster relief, and refugee camps.

  25. The New Life International Water Purifier provides Safe water for potentially less than $1 per person per year.

  26. New Life International Water Purification System More than a “Product”, but rather a MISSION DRIVEN VISION. A vision that water purification is a pathway to Community Development by bringing safe water and a future to the under served; whether they are in the rural remote areas or the crowded slums.

  27. What is Needed? “What good is it my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, ‘Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?” James 2:14-16

  28. Since 1998 New Life International has helped place more than 1000 purifiers in 62 countries Thousands of lives touched www.WaterForTheWorld.com
