WATER FOR LIFE W/ DISCUSSION GUIDE
WATER FOR LIFE W/ DISCUSSION GUIDE is a documentary presentation that follows Catholic Relief Services’ water and sanitation programs in developing countries, combining on-the-ground reportage with intimate, personal stories. Through vivid cinematography and interviews with local families, community leaders, and CRS field staff, the film illustrates practical solutions—wells and hand pumps, rainwater harvesting, sanitation and hygiene education, and community-led maintenance—that restore access to safe water and improve health. The narrative highlights how sustainable technologies are adapted to local contexts and how women and youth often lead and sustain these initiatives, making the film both an informative case study and a moving account of human resilience.
The DVD places these projects within the larger humanitarian crisis of food and water scarcity—the interconnected emergencies that undermine health, economic stability, and peace across many developing regions. It explains how challenges such as climate change, population growth, and limited infrastructure exacerbate water insecurity, and how long-term development work addresses root causes rather than short-term relief alone. Rooted in the mission of Catholic Relief Services, founded in 1943 by the U.S. Catholic bishops to assist the poor worldwide, the film underscores CRS’s Gospel-driven commitment to alleviating suffering and fostering justice, while noting the supportive role of the National Council of Catholic Women, established in 1920 to empower women in service, leadership, and spirituality. Since 1946 the partnership between CRS and NCCW has combined resources, volunteers, and advocacy to scale projects and deepen community impact.
Beyond documentation, Water for Life is designed as an educational and advocacy tool for parishes, schools, donor groups, and policy audiences—prompting discussion, fundraising, and volunteer engagement while showcasing measurable outcomes in health and livelihoods. The film emphasizes dignity, stewardship, and solidarity, inviting viewers to support practical interventions that prevent disease, sustain agriculture, and strengthen community governance. ©2018 Catholic Relief Services.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
