Water Wishes is working to provide clean water to those in need around the world. The Omidi brothers and their charity No More Poverty, are new supporters of the cause, helping to fund relief aid being sent to the Philippines following Typhoon Haiyan.

Water Wishes, a charity providing innovative filtration systems to people in need, thanks No More Poverty and cofounders Julian Omidi and Dr. Michael Omidi for their support. One filter and two buckets are used in the innovative filtration system provided by the charity. One system can provide a six-person family with clean water for up to one year. Water Wishes recently shipped thousands of filtration systems to help the people of the Philippines, but 15,000 buckets are needed to complete the systems.One filter and two buckets are used in the innovative filtration system provided by the charity.

“Bad water is a silent killer throughout the world today,” says Dustin Price, Executive Director of Water Wishes. “What’s baffling is that unclean water doesn’t get the media attention that wars or natural disasters do, but it is responsible for more deaths each year than global conflict. Thank you, No More Poverty, for helping us to continue our work to eradicate thirst and waterborne disease around the world, and particularly in the Philippines where people are devastated and hurting.”

In early December, Water Wishes shipped 10,000 water filters with roughly 5,000 buckets, and 200 emergency kits to provide needed aid to survivors of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines islands. Charity partners in the area will distribute the filters and kits to the area of Cebu and to remote island areas that have not yet received aid. Each filter system requires two buckets and the organization is in need of 15,000 more buckets. The No More Poverty support will go towards the bucket drive that Water Wishes is conducting to complete the filtration systems already on their way to the Philippines.

On November 8, 2013, Super Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest ever to hit land, left more than 6,000 people dead and nearly 2,000 others missing in the country of the Philippines. In December, the United Nations launched a global multi-million dollar call for aid to take care of the needs of the survivors over the next 12 months.
