girl in the community of Lumban Ginabean who needs clean water

This little girl in Lumban Ginabean has these sores on her face from drinking the contaminated water. The average person spends about $43.75/week on drinks (coffee, soda, bottled water, drinks at restaurants).  $43.75 could give 5 people clean drinking water for the rest of their lives. If 600 people participate, this entire community of over 3K people can have a permanent source of clean water.

This is their current water source
