TealBrook Filters
Bro. Ashbury uses filters from TealBrook for his ministry in Malawai. They provide a missionary discount on the products and will work with you to ship products overseas. Before you leave, they can help you learn about the water conditions in that area and teach you about the best water filtration devices for your situation. Even if you are already on the field and are experiencing water difficulties, TealBrook can aid you to find a solution that will work for you.
From the website: TealBrook offers the most current technology available since our founding in 1991; tested and certified to solve your unique water challenges no matter where in the world you need to use a local source of water.
Our goal is to provide a superior customer experience whether you are a non-profit organization serving in Turkmenistan, the leader of a relief organization fighting a Cholera outbreak, or a multinational corporation that needs to keep a worldwide workforce healthy with a safe source of water.
The demand for safe drinking water throughout the world will increase dramatically in the years ahead. Unfortunately, the short-term solution seems to be purchasing and transporting expensive and bulky bottled water. This expensive, and often unsustainable solution, contributes daily to a sea of waste in countries and provinces that have no disposal or recycling program in place. TealBrook offers a sustainable solution that uses local water sources for pennies per gallon. Let us help you solve your water challenge.

Humanitarian Shipping Resource
The Denton Amendment is a U.S. military program that offers shipping of humanitarian goods and vehicles. The individual is responsible for all applications and the transportation of your goods to the shipping locations. This program will not ship Gospel literature. Since it is a government program, there will be many restrictions, standby lists, long waits, and forms to complete.
