Russian attacks in Ukraine have left many cities without access to safe water. A nonprofit in Colorado is stepping up to help by flying thousands of life-saving water filters to the border
DENVER — Advocates say it’s one of the deadliest aspects of war that is often overlooked: drinkable water.
“For this particular cause, the Ukrainian war, we’ve developed and designed a portable backpack,” Water for All President John DeYoung said. “So, the military, moms, widows, orphans—all those people can grab our bag, put it into a river or a lake or a puddle in the street … and they have two and a half gallons of clean water, instantly.”
“I don’t have parents,” DeYoung said. “I don’t have a name. I was found on the streets at the age of four, or four and a half. We don’t even know how old I am. I don’t even have a birthday. And so when we think about the widows, and the orphans, and the people, and the soldiers that are in Ukraine right now—they need clean water.”
