G2G Summer Pure Water Benefit Concert

G2G Pure Water Nicaragua is built on the simple principle of "change not charity". It's the idea that empowerment and sustainable change are far better than band-aid solutions given without consideration for the long-term effects on the community. With the partnership & sponsorship of 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization Amos Health & Hope, we plan to send a team of 8 to 10 men down to the department of Matagalpa, Nicaragua to help facilitate the installation of biosand water filters in communities that lack clean water.

With a goal of raising 12k US Dollars, 100% of funding will go directly towards the purchase of biosand filters (BSF), along with community accompaniment and follow up. Each filter costs $60 dollars US Divide that amount by 12k this project will provide pure water to over 200 village homes in Nicaragua.

The biosand filter is an adaptation of the traditional slow sand filter, which has been used for community water treatment for almost 200 years. As of June 2009, over 200,000 biosand filters have been implemented in over 70 countries. These filters offer effective, high output (40L per day) and can last up to 10 years.
