Mission dedications allow us to honor those who have given their lives to protect others.
Starting with our first mission to Haiti in 2015, we have been dedicating each clean water mission in the name of a military serviceman or woman who was killed in action during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
We believe that by doing this, we can honor each individual and allow their memory to live on through the gift of clean water to the most in need. All mission donations go directly to Honor Project costs. These include purchasing water filters, and travel and logistics for each veteran-led mission. The beauty of our mission model is that veterans can transport as many water filters as you help raise. Check out our projects below and consider donating.
