FEEL GOOD BRANDS AND ECOFILTRO: ONE ANNOUNCE SECOND LEG OF “HIKE FOR WATER”CAMPAIGN

[VNewz...]

 Ecofiltro: one Completes Volcano Hikes in Antigua, Continues Campaign in Seattle

 

Feel Good Brands and ecofiltro: one will continue the next leg of “Hike For Water,” a program created to raise money for clean water in Guatemala. The hike will take place on Mt. Si in North Bend, Wash., from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 7.

 

Rural Guatemala holds thousands of small villages clinging to the slopes of mountains. At the base of a ravine there is water, usually a river or stream, where villagers haul a daily supply for cooking, drinking, bathing and watering livestock and fields. Unfortunately, in Guatemala, 90 percent of rivers and streams are polluted. ecofiltro: one and Feel Good Brands will hike to provide Guatemalan families with safe drinking water.

 

To date, Hike For Water has summited Volcano Acatenango, Volcano Pacaya and Volcano Fuego. The campaign has risen over $65,000 and strives to double that amount with the hike on Mt. Si. To support underdeveloped communities like those in Guatemala, supporters can create a fundraising page at ecofiltro: one and request groups to sponsor the hike. Supports may also donate directly to Hike for Water.

 

Public donations are being matched by the ecofiltro factory, which means every $35 donation to Hike for Water donates not one, but two filters for families in rural Guatemala.
