25 Days of Giving – Day 8

Give a family the gift of clean water with a grove of “miracle trees.” The moringa tree is cultivated in many tropical countries and earned its nickname because its leaves, flowers, fruits, roots, and seeds all pack a punch. It contains rich amino acids and has antibiotic properties. But the most widespread use of moringa is for water purification at the household level. This $30 gift will help a family learn to plant their own trees and produce enough seeds to purify their drinking water.
