Ahroma Specialty Coffee (ahromacoffee.com) has pledged 20% of all profits on Ahroma coffee products to The Bucket Ministry. The Bucket Ministry’s mission is “to provide clean, safe, drinking water and the Living Water to families living in under-resourced areas around the world.”
The Bucket Ministry provides filtered drinking water using Sawyer PointONE Hollow Fiber Membrane Filter, which can be attached to buckets and bottles to remove 99.99% of contaminants from water. A single filter can “effectively remove all bacteria, parasites, protozoa, cysts, eggs and other harmful particulates from unclean drinking water, down to 0.1 micron in size, for over twenty years or one-million gallons.”
The Bucket Ministry has focused their attention on providing access to filtered drinking water to families in Kibera, and plans to complete its work in Kibera by the end of 2024. This year, The Bucket Ministry has begun assessing the neighboring slum of Kawangare, which is home to 150,000 families and 10 distinct tribes. The Bucket Ministry estimates that 700,000 total people currently live in Kawangare, and reports that their current water source is a local spring and borehole.
The cost to provide a single family with access to a Sawyer water filter kit is $53, and you can donate to the Bucket Ministry directly through their website thebucketministry.org.
As part of Ahroma Specialty Coffee’s pledge to support the Bucket Ministry, 20% of their profits from coffee sales have been promised to the Bucket Ministry. Their goal is to raise enough to supply 750 buckets.
