Mission Nicaragua

Nicaragua is among one of the poorest countries in the world. Second only after Haiti in terms of poverty in the Americas. Malnutrition among children is estimated to be as high as 45% and clean drinking water is inaccessible to over 40% of the population.
MAJI has seen first hand the effects of extreme poverty in this country in distress. In February and May of 2010, we visited la chureca which is considered to be one of the 20 horrors of the modern world. People in churecas rummage through glass, plastic and garbage to sustain any sort of livehoods. They build their homes right beside the landfill and collect 18 cordobas (90cents Canadian) for each large bag they can fill.
The situation in the churecas is dire, it truly is an area in distress.
In the last trip to the churecas, MAJI donated 20 gallons of clean drinking water per person to 31 families. Along with water, MAJI built a purified well and donated supplies and books to one of the local schools.
A long term sustainable project is underway to further help those in need (such as access to formal education) and drug prevention in the communities.

Mission India

India's large and growing population is placing severe strains on all of the country's natural resources. Most water sources are contaminated by sewage and agricultural runoff. India has made progress in the supply of safe water to its people, but gross disparity in coverage exists across the country. The World Bank estimates that 21% of communicable diseases in India are related to unsafe water. In India, diarrhea alone causes more than 1,600 DEATHS daily - equivalent to the total number of passengers in 8 jumbo jets. Rural india needs more access to clean drinkable water today. With the help of the diaspora, MAJI is working on sustainable solutions to provide potable water to communities in rural India.

Mission Darfur

Years of desertification, overpopulation and drought have been the harbingers of war in Darfur. As many as 2.5 million people are believed to have been displaced. Estimates by the UN suggest that half a million people have died due to disease and violence. Survivors are forced to flee to poorly managed and often dangerous refugee camps. Extreme thirst is forcing students to drop out of school to search for the water their families desperately need. Across Darfur, access to water is becoming scarce and the government's neglect of the water infrastructure has left many pumps inoperable.
Whenever you drink a 500ml bottle of Maji, up to 1.5L of water will be donated on your behalf to a crisis-affected region of the world.
