CLEAN WATER
HydrAid™ BioSand Water Filter
Unsafe water affects more people worldwide than AIDS and cancer combined. At least 4 million people worldwide die each year from drinking unsafe water. So many diseases are needlessly taking lives around the world every day, but this is one epidemic that can be solved. And it has. Our revolutionary product, HydrAid™ — formerly Plastic BioSand Water Filter™ — can strain out 85-99% of bacteria and 100% of parasites! A HydrAid™ BioSand Water Filter costs just $32. Getting it to a family and ready to use costs another $18. So for just $50 a family can have safe water for the next decade or longer. International Aid will distribute over 300,000 of these water filters in the areas where we work, as well as through other relief agencies. You can give a family a lifetime of clean water by purchasing a HydrAid™ BioSand water filter today!

EMERGENCY RELIEF PACKS

For years, International Aid has been one of the first responders to disaster situations with our various Emergency Relief Packs. After the tsunami swept over Indonesia in 2004, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in 2005, and various earthquakes happened in 2007—International Aid was immediately on the spot distributing thousands of Emergency Relief Packs. Our supplies are now depleted, and we urgently need to be prepared to respond to the next disaster. For just $10 each, you can provide one of these special packs to a victim in need…
- DISASTER RELIEF BACKPACK—blanket, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, pen, spiral notebook, toy or flashlight in backpack

PROTECT FAMILIES FROM ARI
Lorena Stove
Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is the #1 cause of illness and death among children in the poverty-stricken Lempira region of Honduras. ARI is associated with the use of wood stoves without proper ventilation. The Lorena Stove is more efficient than normal wood stoves, uses less wood and prevents pollution inside the house by venting the smoke out the chimney. International Aid has already installed hundreds of these stoves throughout Lempira—our goal: to see a properly vented stove in each of the 10,000+ homes throughout Lempira.

TRAIN AN EQUIPMENT TECHNICIAN
Training
Everyday in developing and poor countries, the tragedy of a seriously ill loved one is compounded by medical equipment that is broken, worn out, or dangerously unusable. Even donated equipment often arrives in an unusable condition. Missing parts, incompatible power connections, and lack of access to supplies can leave life-saving equipment sitting in hospital hallways and closets—no more helpful than if it had never arrived. For just $75, you can help us train local men and women in these countries to perform specialized medical equipment maintenance, repairs, and troubleshoot problems that typically would disable these life-saving devices. With your support, over 500 students have entered our Medical Equipment Training program (over 100 in the past year alone!), and 223 have now graduated from this six-course program. This training not only provides a life-saving service, it is also the means to a much better way of life for these students and their families.

GIVE THE MIRACLE OF SIGHT
Cataract Surgery
Jorge, a 14-year-old boy living in Honduras, was orphaned at an early age when both of his parents were killed. He lives in a village near the capital city of Tegucigalpa with his aunt. He developed cataracts at a young age, but it wasn't until his aunt heard about our COVA eye clinic that she took him in for eye care—she had no way to afford a surgery of this kind! But through your generous gifts, Jorge was able to have cataract surgery at no charge and now lives a happy, active life in Honduras. Will you give the gift of sight to hundreds of other Jorges living in Honduras and Ghana?

PROVIDE TOOLKIT FOR A STUDENT
Medical Toolkit
Every tradesman must have a toolkit…it is no different for the graduating students of our Medical Equipment Training program. Each student must purchase their own toolkit. Our old technology is still cutting-edge—new technology—for most developing countries, so tools to keep this equipment working well is vital. You can help provide this critical component for the success of a graduating student.

SAVE A BABY'S LIFE
Infant Incubator
An infant incubator can save the life of a premature baby or the newborn who needs special care by allowing medical missionaries to create ideal conditions for survival. In addition to regulating oxygen, temperature, and humidity levels, incubators protect these tiny infants from pollutants and infection. Help us keep little babies like this one alive!

PROVIDE EMERGENCY CARE
When disasters strike, one of the most urgent and immediate needs is for a health clinic that can provide basic services! International Aid can create a mobile health clinic that will serve up to 10,000 needy people. After Hurricane Katrina hit, we shipped these clinics to churches—the first one we set up in Gulfport, Mississippi, served over 200 people every day!
