MoreWine To Water is a 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) non-profit aid organization focused on providing clean water to needy people around the world. Nearly 1 billion people in the world today lack access to adequate water and 2.5 billion people lack access to improved sanitation. We are devoted to fighting this epidemic. Wine symbolizes fortune in our society. Our goal is to give the fortunate population an opportunity to fight for those who can't fight for themselves. Wine To Water was a dream that became a reality in the beginning of 2004. We held our first fundraiser in Raleigh, North Carolina in February of 2004 to see if in fact it was an idea that people would respond to. The concept was originally to put on benefit wine events, such as tastings, then use all of the money raised to support water projects around the world. The first fundraiser was a great success. With its success, and others to follow, came a confidence that Wine to Water would continue to grow as an organization. As a result, wine tastings became just one of many ways that we raise awareness and support for the global water crisis. We have worked to provide clean water and sanitation in many countries including Sudan, India, Cambodia, Uganda, Ethiopia, and Haiti. The very first miracle that Jesus performed was turning water into wine. He was at a wedding party that ran out of wine before the party was finished, which would have made the host look bad. Mary, Jesus' mother, came to Jesus and told him about the wine running out. Jesus had compassion and told the servants to fill six stone water pots with water. Then they were to draw some water out and bring it to the head-waiter of the party. When the head-waiter tasted the water which had become wine, and did not know where it came from ( but the servants who had drawn the water knew ), the head-waiter called the bridegroom, and said to him, 'Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people have drunk freely, then he serves the poorer wine ; but you have kept the good wine until now.' ( John 2: 9-10 ) Wine To Water's goal is to allow Jesus to turn His miracle around for the needy people of this world. It is our prayer that Jesus Christ will use those of us who have plenty to help provide someone who is less fortunate with the gift of clean water. LessPhone: (828) 355-9655
