In
July of 2010, Jeff and Jackie Bird traveled to Haiti to help with the
relief effort. It had been almost six months since the 7.0 earthquake
hit, yet the country remained in a desperate state. The Haitians who
had survived the earthquake were now displaced and contending with a
lack of clean water, food and medical aid.
Jeff
and Jackie returned home with a passion to empower everyday people like
themselves to impact the lives of those in need. They immediately laid
the groundwork for Epic International, a company with philanthropy at
its core. For every Epic timepiece sold, Epic will provide clean
drinking water for an individual in Haiti for five years through the
distribution of water filters. Our Epic teams also provide health
education during our distributions to te
ach the basics about germs,
disease, hygiene and food preparation. This provides a foundation of
knowledge that when combined with a water filter creates life changing
self empowerment!
