Cover Photo: In 2010, Blood:Water Mission returned to Lwala, a rural village in Western Kenya, where we partnered with the Lwala Community Alliance to open a clinic in 2007. In 2011, new plans are underway to provide safe water at area schools like this one at Minyemya Primary School.

Our work successfully provided clean water, sanitation and hygiene in 201 communities in Kenya, Uganda, Zambia and Rwanda. We continue to see the remarkable stories of transformation as a result of this work. Additionally, we continued to provide support for the first HIV/AIDS health center in the desert region of Marsabit district in northern Kenya. We celebrate the provision of medical equipment, clinicians and health care workers focused on aggressively working toward HIV care, testing and stigma reduction.

Our film crew was given the task of building a comprehensive visual history of the organization through conversations and interviews. With every community we visited and with every conversation we engaged in, one thing became more and more apparent to me: The goals and numbers that we often use as banners or indications that we are doing good work did not really matter in the same way while I crouched into a single room home of a family of six, watching as they received instructions for how to use their new biosand filter. That is not to say the numbers don’t matter. But our celebration of the completion of the 1000 Wells Project, which gave water to 600,000 people, was only important if the story of the single mother who just received a biosand filter in her home was alone worth celebrating. The numbers are important. They help us see that processes are efficient and finances are well spent and goals and visions are intact. The numbers that matter most are the ones we can count on one or two hands. They are the number of family members who are healthy. They represent the number of children a mother cares about. They represent the teacher who is receiving the medications to live a healthy life, or the woman who is offered dignity in the face of a disease cloaked in alienating and oppressive stigma. They are numbers that represent a single story we can get our hearts around. We celebrate the fact that those stories add up. They add up to 1000 communities of healthy men, women and children. This has been a year to reflect on the work that has been done. We have had our victories and challenges. And in the pages that follow, you will see a great story unfold. We hope you find yourself in the words of our partners as they describe the work and you find yourself in the statistics of giving and spending. I hope you will feel as much a part of this wonderful story as I do. And as with any great story, as a chapter ends, I hope ZPV XJMM BOYJPVTMZ MPPLJOH GPSXBSE UP XIBU DPNFT OFYU 'PS XF OPU POMZ DFMFCSBUF UIF -FNPO "JE TUBOET BOE Water:Walks, and bike tours, and “Philanthroparties,� and clean water wells that have been dug, and the medical clinics that have been opened and the completion of a big goal.

FROM DALLAS TO CHICAGO, PHOENIX TO NASHVILLE, Blood:Water Mission supporters have had the opportunity to literally walk a mile in someone else’s shoes. These water walks have offered advocates an invitation to take part in one mile walks to collect water in their own cities. These walks are based on the recognition that every day thousands of young Africans must walk several miles just for access to water. Churches, schools and families have rallied their communities to bring awareness to the African water crisis. However small this gesture may be, for many it has been a galvanizing and implicating experience, bringing our concept of neighbor one mile closer and our love, perhaps, one mile stronger. !!
