What people are saying about Thirst-Aid

"You can look at photos, videos, listen to stories, read articles but nothing is more powerful then being in Myanmar to see Thirst-Aid live and in real time. The impact is profound, memorable and drives one to action.  It's a reminder of how lucky we are as Americans to have basic requirements like clean water at our fingertips.  The bottom line, our trip to Myanmar permanently changed me. I've always been grateful for what we have but now that gratefulness has been elevated to a whole new level.  Meeting Curt and Cathy years ago got us involved, meeting their staff and seeing the project in person reaffirmed our decision to always stay involved, especially after seeing Thirst-Aids's work in the field.  It's nice to know that all of our financial assistance gets to the people in one way shape or form.  Thirst-Aid does great work and we're honored to be a part of it."

Greg and Robbie Bagni: Donors

"Thirst-Aid is one of the best examples of sustainable development I’ve ever seen.  Their model of working in the private sector of a developing country empowers the local people."

Waldemar Pickard: Director of water, hygiene and sanitation UNICEF Myanmar.

"We all wish we could work for Thirst-Aid because they not only do things for the right reasons they do it with heart and from their soul."

Richard Tracy: director of water, hygiene and sanitation ACF Myanmar.

"I love working for Thirst-Aid.  Every day I’m challenged.  I’ve learned a lot of new things and new ways to do things.   We’re a family."

Ko Ko Aung: Thirst-Aid technical assistant and photographer

"Working for Thirst-Aid lets me help the people in my country.  I get to meet and talk to the people Thirst-Aid helps.  First I talk to them about what they need, then I help them understand how and why we want to help them and then I actually get to show them how to use a water filter.  It’s very rewarding to go back to visit someone I’ve taught and see them still using and loving their filter."

Nyein Nyein: Thirst-Aid office and educational assistant

"Thirst-Aid believes not only in education before technology but they truly work with the people and they listen."

Aye Win former UNICEF and World Vision project director.

"Working with Thirst-Aid has not only been rewarding but it’s been great fun.  Curt and I work together to design machinery to produce filters and now we’re working together to develop a water purification cart.  Even when we make mistakes or go down the wrong path, Curt never gets upset, he just shakes his head and says back to the drawing board."
