Imagine waking up every morning knowing that the first thing you have to do is walk miles just to find water...water that could potentially make you sick. For 703 million people worldwide, this is their daily reality. Dirty water isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a life-threatening crisis. It leads to disease, poverty, and countless lost opportunities for families and children.
But....there’s hope. Here at Mosaic, our goal is to help and step in to provide sustainable, life-changing, clean water solutions for those who need them most. Through innovative initiatives, our goal here at Mosaic is to ensure that no one has to drink unsafe water again.
The True Cost of Dirty Water
It is mind-blowing to think we live in a world where there are people who do not have clean water to drink... but for millions of people, dirty water is a daily struggle that steals their time, health, and opportunities. Let’s break it down:
Health Risks
Imagine drinking a glass of water, knowing it could make you or your child deathly ill. Contaminated water causes 1.2 million deaths annually, with children under five being the most vulnerable.
Time Lost
While many of us can grab a glass of clean water in seconds, millions of women and children spend up to 6 hours a day fetching water, walking miles with heavy jugs, often from contaminated sources. That’s time stolen from education, work, and simply enjoying life.
Economic Burden
Dirty water doesn’t just make people sick; it keeps them trapped in poverty. Waterborne diseases mean costly hospital visits, lost wages, and children missing school, perpetuating a cycle of financial hardship.
It’s not just about drinking water; clean water is essential for cooking, hygiene, and nutrient absorption. Without it, children suffer from chronic malnutrition, making it harder to grow, learn, and thrive.
The heartbreaking reality? Millions of people don’t even know what it’s like to have safe water. But we can change that.

Stories of Transformation: A Mother and a Pastor
A Mother’s Story: A Daily Struggle for Water
For years, a mother in rural Africa had one priority every morning: walking 10 kilometers (one way) to fetch water. The dirty, contaminated water was her family’s only option. With dirty water it can cause stomach infections which could lead to missing school and suffering from exhaustion.
Then, everything changed.
Through Mosaic International’s clean water initiative, her family received a ceramic water filter that instantly transformed their lives. Now, she no longer has to spend their mornings fetching water.
A Pastor’s Story: From Sickness to Health
Not all dirty water looks dirty. A local pastor always believed his water was safe...it looked clear. But below the surface, it was dirty. His health deteriorated so much that doctors believed he might need surgery.
Then, three years ago, Mosaic International gave him a water filter. Within just two months, his issue was resolved.. Seeing the impact, he bottled filtered water to share with his church community.
As the demand for clean water in his village grew, Mosaic stepped in again, providing him with a second filter recently. This pastor now helps others access safe water, spreading health and hope.
