HISTORY 2002 - 2009
Filled with the desire to serve those with less,
in 2002 the Whites ventured on their own to see what gifts they could offer
to the poor of Guatemala. The trip was life
changing. Once home they decided to do something about the water in Guatemala
affecting the poorest people.
They learned about a simple water filter called the "filtron" which could purify
water to be 99.95% free of all bacteria. The filter only cost $35 and it would
last a family for two to five years. The Whites decided that this would be
their mission to the poor . . . to give them a cup of clean water.

People are not only sacred, but also social. How
we participate in our family and community from our daily actions affects each
