Water With Blessings (WWB), co-founded 10 years ago by Ursuline Sister of Mount Saint Joseph Larraine Lauter, donates Sawyer PointONE water filters and provides training to communities that lack access to clean water in 48 countries.
Sister Lauter, who serves as WWB’s executive director, spent some time on the Navajo reservation recently.
