Clean Water for Every Family: How Global Servants is Bringing Hope Through Filtration

Global Servants

Around the world, millions of people struggle each day without access to safe drinking water.



For families in rural villages, the water they rely on is often drawn from rivers, ponds, or shallow wells—sources that are frequently contaminated with harmful bacteria, protozoa, and microplastics. Without intervention, waterborne illness spreads quickly, leading to malnutrition, poor health, and sometimes even death.

At Global Servants, we believe clean water should never be a privilege—it is a basic need and a God-given right. Through our Clean Water Initiative, we are providing families with simple yet powerful filtration systems that transform unsafe water into safe, drinkable water.


How the Filtration System Works

Each system uses gravity to push water through an advanced filter specifically designed to remove 99.9999% of bacteria, protozoa, and cysts, as well as 100% of microplastics. With just a standard container and a drilled opening, this system can provide safe drinking water for a family in minutes.


The kit includes:

  • A high-capacity filter
  • Drill bit for setup
  • Filter hanger and hose
  • Adapters and connection pieces
  • A backwashing device for cleaning
  • Instruction sticker for easy care


Whether families draw water from a muddy river or catch rainwater in a cistern, the system ensures harmful pathogens are removed. Even heavily contaminated water becomes safe to drink, though cleaning the filter more often is recommended when muddy water is used.


Built to Last

One of the most remarkable features of this system is its durability. Each filter can process up to 100,000 gallons of water, providing families in need with many months of safe drinking water. In fact, filters like these are already in use in over 100 countries. Some have been operating effectively for more than a decade.



Every filter is tested three times during the production process, sealed for safety, and individually inspected to ensure consistent quality. Extensive testing means that when we deliver a system to a family, we can trust that it will provide reliable, life-changing clean water.

Bringing Families Hope

In many of the villages where we serve, children no longer miss school due to sickness caused by contaminated water. Parents no longer spend what little income they have on medicine for preventable illnesses. Instead, with clean water at home, families are healthier, stronger, and filled with hope for the future.


How You Can Help

Clean water doesn’t just quench thirst—it saves lives, supports education, and strengthens entire communities. And the cost to make this impact is surprisingly small.


For as little as $50, you can provide clean water for a family for years to come.

That’s more than a decade of protection from waterborne illness, health for children, and hope for parents—all made possible by one simple gift.

A Note from Travis Rutland

Water is life. When we deliver clean water to a family, we’re not just giving them something to drink—we are giving them health, hope, and a chance for a brighter future. Thank you for standing with us in this vital work. Your generosity truly changes lives.
