Convention Recap: Making a Difference

Syntek Global is a company that believes in living without barriers. Our distributors throughout the world are already breaking through their barriers. But what if your barrier was to simply survive?

THE PROBLEM: LACK OF CLEAN WATER

*Nearly 1,884,000,000 people (1 in 8 people) worldwide do not have access to clean and safe water. 37% of those people live in Sub-Saharan Africa.
*Worldwide, 1 out of every 5 deaths of children under 5 is due to a water-related disease.
*Every 21 seconds, a child dies from a water-related illness.
*443 million school days are lost each year due to water-related diseases.
*3.4 million people die each year from a water-related disease. That is almost the population of Chicago and San Francisco combined!

For a billion people, there is either the lack of enough water or lack of access to safe water—and that barrier affects everything.
•    Time lost gathering water and suffering from water-borne diseases is limiting people's true potential.
•    Their futures are put in jeopardy as education and life itself is lost to sickness.
•    Economic development is lost while people merely try to survive.
•    Without clean water the possibility of breaking out of the cycle of poverty is incredibly hard.

THE SOLUTION: GIVE & LIVE

Syntek Global is proud to give back to our communities and the world through our Make a Difference program. We have partnered with Reach the Children, an organization that provides underprivileged children opportunities to become self-reliant by strengthening families and communities, to provide life-sustaining sources of clean water for underprivileged communities in Africa.

We can truly Make a Difference for people who desperately need it, by providing funds for three types of projects:

 Clean water makes a HUGE difference.

• Students can attend school when they don’t have to spend their time gathering water. 
• With Africa’s short rainy season and long dry season, irrigation is needed to grow crops. Access to water leads to food security, and with less crop loss, hunger is reduced. 
• Safe water equals clean hands, which equals healthy bodies. 
• Time lost to sickness is reduced and people can get back to the work of lifting themselves out of poverty.

Not only are we providing clean sources of water, but Reach the Children takes it one step further by helping communities set up irrigation systems. Additionally, farm management experts will coach farmers on irrigation, cash cropping, and marketing. We are going to teach them how to improve their own lives.

It's amazing how a relatively small investment can make such a dramatic difference in so many lives. According to the World Health Organization, for every $1 invested in water and sanitation, there is an economic return of up to $34 in those communities.

Syntek Global is already donating and we invite you to join us in our efforts. To participate, simply add a one-time donation to your Syntek Global order, or set up a recurring donation to give monthly with your AutoShip. If every distributor added a $10 Make a Difference donation to his/her orders, by the end of the year we could give a dozen communities and thousands of people access to clean water.

We can Make a Difference and remove this barrier to better health, a better education, and a better life for these African communities—and not only help those alive today, but all future generations.
