Environmental Relief
Deep Springs International
This organization provides a clean water system and training for households to ensure that they have clean drinking water. Cost of $35 provides three years of clean water for a family.
Need: If a group would commit to raising enough money for 200+ buckets, Deep Springs would locate a new area to distribute the buckets and conduct training with the people who receive them. The team could accompany the Deep Springs team as the buckets are distributed. Once 300 buckets is reached, Deep Springs will be able to hire a new full time caseworker to manage and monitor the new area. This project would cost between $7,500 to $10,000.

Three years later the effort became an annual collaboration with Light of Life and is now serving almost 2000 families. The wonderful part of the effort is that meals are distributed by a vast network of 25 partner ministries. The meals are a symbol of love as these organizations demonstrate and often provide the best opportunity to proclaim the Gospel.
Food Build
Joshua House Haiti
Supply the money and shipping cost to assemble dehydrated, high protein, vitamin-fortified food packets. This is a great pre-trip team-building exercise. Each meal costs 25 cents to produce. Groups could start with a total of 20,000 meals for $5000 and could pack up to a full shipping container of 280,000 meals. Once the meals are packed and shipped to Haiti, they are donated to a ministry called Hearts for the Hungry who distributes them to local churches, schools and orphanages. In many cases your team can help distribute the food in Haiti.
Vacation Bible School/Ministry Training

Any teams that wish to do a VBS type camp for kids can easily be utilized in a number of different churches. There are also a number of local pastors who are always looking for ministry training for their congregation.
