Dude, it brought me to tears when you clarified who was getting blessed and especially when Evelyn said "You are like angels in my house this morning.

Now let me tell you the truth about Sawyer Products. Kurt, the owner is one of those phony “Christians” who is an egomaniac and not honest about donating “90%” of his profits. Yes he donates filters and money to US BASED charities but because he set up his son in law (the one he dislikes) with a business that does GIS tracking, the filter donations are considered R&D and a tax write off. He also receives a tax credit for the donations since they are donated to US based charities. All this philanthropy yet no one at his plant in Safety Harbor FL has health insurance or any Benefits at all. Now to be fair he didn’t write the tax code and is playing by the rules but be assured he is making money by “donating profits”. The plant in FL is in total disrepair and antiquated. You’d be shocked if you saw where these products were being made and packaged. His employees that speak up about conditions are quickly let go. I’m not a disgruntled former employee, rather an insider with the family who knows exactly the kind of person the owner of this company is.

After watching this, I will gladly donate to their charity (I'm typically weary of charities in that I don't know how much donated money actually goes to the cause you're donating to) and purchase some more products. To see the direct results of what Sawyer and their partners are doing in Kenya is absolutely astounding.

Hey brother, I happened upon this video by "accident". Since I already have Sawyer filters for our emergency supplies, I wanted to see what you were talking about. SO glad I watched this video. I am a retired engineer who now volunteers at a ministry called Design Outreach. We are a bunch of engineers who have set out to make things like water wells sustainable through technology. The pump that you show in this video is an Afridev or India MkII style pump that is extremely flawed and you are correct, they do not last. We have developed a hand pump that draws water from much deeper and lasts for many years longer with no maintenance. But you are also correct in stating that they are expensive, so I love that these filters are filling the gap. Thank you for the video and may the Lord continue to bless you and yours. In His humble service - Jerry

I think you just gave one of the best reasons possible for brand loyalty. And thank you for covering the water crisis in Africa; it's actually quite rampant all over the continent, and it's getting worse as the changing climate makes Africa's climate even harsher. When I visited Africa, specifically Tanzania, I had the same experience with the locals as you; they were extremely friendly and hospitable. One example -- our flight into Africa was delayed, and our group was further delayed due to some of our crew's baggage ending up on the NEXT flight into Dara es Salaam, so we ended up stuck at the airport for a few hours waiting for a resolution to that situation. Since it required waiting for the next flight, it took a while. After that we got into our shuttles to our hotel in Kilimanjaro, and due to the delays we missed dinner, and ended up reaching the hotel at nearly 2am local time. Even so, the cooks got up and made us some fresh French fries with homemade ketchup. Very friendly and very hospitable people. BTW, you meant to say that you could NOT care less if you didn't make any money from this video. If you could care less, then it means you DO care about making money from this video.

Thanks for getting this word out, Dan. I've been a Sawyer fan since doing some work for the US Embassies in Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria. We used their insect repellents (lotion and permetherine treatments) and in several months total time spent there, during mosquito season, I never once even got bit. It wasn't until several years later I learned about how much they do, but I learned even more in this video. Also, I'll say to fairly compare a Sawyer to a BeFree, you need to filter a few hundred liters first. The Sawyer will keep flowing, but the BeFree steadily loses flow rate until it's basically the same as the Sawyer. And all the while, the BeFree has a wider aperture, meaning it's a less effective filter.

I was not aware of the charity aspect of this. I am very happy to see that I have spent my money wisely and that it helps others as well. God bless you and your family.

Thank you for this video, certainly taught me something about the place and the company I did not know. I am a Sawyer user and now even happier that I made that choice in filter products. We lucky ones should all be so thankful for what we take for granted.

Thanks for sharing this! I’m a youth pastor in Tx and my students and I purchased sawyer filters a few years ago to make our own buckets after we partnered with a similar ministry in South America. Love the work of the Bucket Ministry!

I had heard that Sawyer did charity work but, I never looked into it. This video was very informative and enlightening. I had no idea they were so dedicated. I just ordered a bunch of Sawyer stuff to throw in my crisis kit just because of this video. Good job brother! Real men pray! Love it

I think it's great and all that 3rd World countries are getting Sawyer's good quality filters, BUT WHY DID Sawyer REMOVE THEM FROM CUSTOMERS IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES LIKE THE USA? WHY ARE WE NOT ALLOWED TO BUY THE .002 FILTER, TOO? I've wanted to buy one for over 4 YEARS now and Sawyer won't sell them to anyone other than NGO type organizations. The ".Zero Zero Two" filter is the one I need and want to buy from them. I know there are other people like me who want to buy the .002 AND CAN'T, because Sawyer WON'T ALLOW IT! Please have Travis add it back to the retail market, so that EVERYONE can buy it! I'd even buy 2 and give one to a village or community that needs it. Bombas Socks does something like that. Buy one & give one. I'd be perfectly fine with that! Get as many "Zero Zero Two" filters out there as possible! Help as many people out there as possible!

I intentionally only purchase Sawyer water filters because of the work they do. I wish more companies would follow their model

I don't personally like the sawyer filter but after this I'm gonna buy some anyways! May not be the go to but for a back up fine. Mostly because it supports someone else getting Fresh water to drink. Something that everyone should be able to do.... Thanks for sharing your Faith too. Praying for Blessings for you and everyone Sawyer helps

I almost passed over this video, but I'm so glad I watched it. My son, his wife, and small children will be leaving for Kenya in the future, as missionary pilots for Africa Inland Missions. I'm passing on this video to them. Very encouraging and I'm glad you posted this.

Thanks for your thoughtful message; and please thank your family for their work with African Inland Missions (AIM). On my recent mission trips in Kenya with The Bucket Ministry, I was blessed to meet several people from AIM. They have very humbly blessed our ministry in Africa. We often travel to very remote areas such as Shompole (as was shown in Dan's video) near the Tanzanian border, or also the Pokot or Turkana tribes to the northern reaches of Kenya. AIM pilots have offered to work with us to get our missionaries into these remote locations. Sawyer, The Bucket Ministry, and now, Dan Becker, recognize that within all of us there is a desire to be tender, generous and personally lift up anyone we see is in need. Sawyer and its partners have been doing this, quietly and humbly for several years now. The ripple effect of physical and spiritual health has been nothing short of a miracle. The seeds of Hope and Faith have indeed been powerful to see at work. Thank you again for your kind words, and such positive faith-filled actions.

Been thoroughly enjoying your videos, Dan. I really want to start camping with my two sons, 16 and 9 years old, create some lifelong core memories as I did with my father. So glad to have come across this particular video. As I said, already been enjoying your videos, but you just leveled up my friend. Thank you for sharing this amazing trip.

I am a manager in a large camping and outdoor chain (not REI). I have loved Sawyer Products specifically their water filters for a long time. I knew nothing about this. I will be even more enthusiastic in recommending this product. Not sure why their reps don't push this story, it touches my heart and I'm grateful for the good they do. Thanks for sharing this.

Dan, Thank you for bringing this topic to our attention. It is so heartbreaking to see the conditions that are being endured by so many. It really brings to light just how fortunate we are to live where we do. Sadly, myself included, we take clean running water for granted and waste so much of this precious resource in many parts of the world. We can all do better. Water is Life, we all need to do our part. I will start doing mine now. Thanks again for sharing.

Dan, thank you so much for this video. After watching, I felt compelled to donate to Saywer's foundation. I was just going to do a one time of $100, but saw the $20 a month option and used that. I have NEVER done this kind of contribution b4. God works in mysterious ways and He told me to do this. God bless you, the Saywer Foundation, and most importantly the people of Nairobi!

When my sister-in-law went on a missionary trip to Burkina Faso, Africa, I sent her with her own personal Sawyer filter and 2 bucket filters to give away. She would fill a water bottle with water and screw the Sawyer filter on and drink. The people thought she was crazy until she gave them the bucket filter setups and they were so amazed that drinking water was actually clear. They had been drinking dirty water their whole lives and that’s all they knew. She taught them how to backflush the filters and how to use them properly. It’s been a couple of years so I hope they were able to get more filters for their village.

Loving this unexpected video. I have been blessed to see some of the same things in Central America. A short 3 hour flight and couple of hour van ride and people are using water out of a stream just like you showed in this video. There, Living Water International is one of many organizations helping people have access to clean water. Thank you for sharing the story of the 800 million still without access to clean water and what Sawyer is doing to help.
