Funding Clean Water Options for Missionaries

Pure Water, Pure Love

Pure Water, Pure Love (PWPL) has a three-fold mission:

  • to supply missionaries with water filters,
  • to provide the people they serve with wells that offer clean water, and
  • to supply missions teams with water filters for use on short-term missions trips.


Throughout the world, people are at constant risk of contracting a disease or parasites from their water. Many are forced to carry heavy jugs of water for miles just to be sure their families have clean, healthy water. For others, the prospect of clean water is simply non-existent.

With the help of hundreds of churches, PWPL provides thousands of water filters to missionary families and helps fund clean water projects.

You can help!

Grants and Filters

Through Pure Water, Pure Love grants are provided for water projects around the world. Funds from grants can be used to provide clean water resources for communities who lack access to clean water. This can be in the form of wells, water filters, or a community water filtration system.

Grant applications must be completed by February 1, June 1 or October 1 of each year for consideration. Applicants may only apply for, receive, and benefit from one grant every two calendar years.  

Pure Water, Pure Love also provides water filters for short-term mission teams. We ask missions teams who receive PWPL water filters to leave the filters with the local community in which they are serving.

For more information regarding grants, or to requests filters for your missions team, email [email protected].
