An additional change was made to the Article of Dissolution: Upon dissolution the assets of 20 Liters will be distributed to an organization or organizations that are organized and operated exclusively for one or more exempt purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as voted on by the majority of the managing body, in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan. These changes were made with the consent of Mars Hill Bible Church.”

IRS990/Desc0Between July 2018 and June 2019 we continued our work in Rwanda, Africa. In the sectors of Gahanga, Gashora and Rilima we reached more than 22,332 people with access to clean water. We provided in-depth health and hygiene training and household filter systems to 1,377 families, built and distributed 7 community filters to schools and health clinics, and constructed 11 rainwater harvesting systems in local churches. Our volunteers in Rwanda also visited 4,486 families that have previously received filters to reinforce health & hygiene behaviors and ensure their filters are still working. In the US we utilized 576 volunteers to assemble more than 12,000 filters for use in Rwanda and by partner agencies in over 60 developing countries.

These changes were made with the consent of Mars Hill Bible Church.
