Please support VFP's longest running project, your help still needed - Veterans For Peace Iraq Water Project

d
Veterans For Peace Iraq Water Project was founded twenty years ago to help address the disastrous absence of clean water throughout Iraq, one of the legacies of US Iraq policy. Contaminated water hospitalized thirty thousand people this summer alone in Basra; scarcely any part of Iraq has accessible or clean water. Many of the hospitals themselves lack decent water. Our project has placed 170 small treatment units, ultraviolet and reverse osmosis, in Iraqi institutions, primarily clinics and schools. Cooperating NGOs on the ground in Iraq, that is, Iraqis themselves provide the installation and maintenance for these units.  Yet the requests outnumber our abilities, oftentimes, to provide and install additional water purification units in schools and hospitals.  For this we come to you!

In the coming year IWP hopes to continue its work, with your help. Can you help us?  Much of our history and information is available on the website www.iraqwaterproject.org.   Please go to the link on the site for donating, or https://app.etapestry.com/onlineforms/VeteransforPeace/iwp.html Checks can be made out to VFP - Iraq Water Project and  mailed to Veterans for Peace, 1404 North Broadway, St Louis MO 63102. Please help and give a tax-deductible donation online!

Thanks for your attention, and---contribution---please keep the people of Iraq in your thoughts during this holiday season and beyond.
