The Problem
 

Today, unsafe drinking water will claim 1,328 lives.*

Contaminated water and poor sanitation are linked to the transmission of diseases such as cholera, dysentery, hepatitis A, typhoid, and polio. Absent, inadequate, or inappropriately managed water and sanitation services expose individuals to preventable health risks. Water gathered downstream from livestock or collected from roofs, poses these risks to those who consume it. Unfortunately, that’s how most people in Nyeri, Kenya collect their water.

The Solution
 

Coffee for you.
Water for them.

You’ve heard of turning water into wine, but have you ever tried turning coffee into water? By building water purification costs into each wholesale bag of Traveling Bard’s “Neighborly Roast”, we are able to make the promise that for every cup of coffee you drink, you’re sending an equal amount of safe water to someone on the other side of the planet.

 

Watch the magic.

To combat waterborne pathogens, we are providing water purification tablets to people who lack access to safe drinking water in Nyeri, Kenya. $5.30 can buy one hundred, 67mg tablets, each of which can purify 10 liters of water.

Our team member, Geoffrey, who was born and raised in Nyeri, works on the ground with local leaders to identify families most at risk and distributes tablets through the local Church, thus making Christ the spring from which both physical and spiritual water flow (John 4:14).

 

Meet the Artist

The design prompt, “turn coffee into water” was brought to life by none other than the great Luke Romig. Luke’s portfolio contains high-profile clients such as Airheads, Brooks running shoes, and more. We are humbled to say that he generously donated his talents to our nonprofit.
